CIPHER
Challenge
To design a lock system with a companion app that addresses the needs of patrons as well as staff members in charge of maintaining the locks.
Approach
To gain a better understanding of the users needs I conducted a wide range of research including interviews, surveys, market research and ethnographic research. Once there was a clear understanding of the users needs I explored various product forms and functions that would best solve the problem while maintaining a fitting aesthetic.
Outcome
The result of all the extensive research yielded Cipher, a minimal app based lock that address the needs of all its users.
