center for nanotechnology in society
These are student team projects that I guided at Arizona State University. Each team had students from industrial design, graphic design, business, and engineering. I served as a teacher and product manager on the projects, guiding students through early ethnographic research, market research, analysis and insight generation, brainstorming, concept selection, design detailing, appearance model-making, prototype building, branding, and documentation.
These projects were sponsored by the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University, where social scientists were conducting research on the potential societal impacts of emerging nanotechnologies. The goal of the project was to generate product ideas to promote the human and social benefits of nanotechnologies, while keeping harmful effects in check.
