Yanti
A dynamic walker and mobility assistant.
About
I was challenged with designing a product for the elderly. By visiting a retirement home and talking with the residents I learned that many of the issues in their daily life were due to the lack of empathetic design in the products they use. Poorly designed mobility devices presented the largest issue because of the product's importance in providing independence and transportation.
