Lemonaide Cane - Handle and Foot Design
In Short:
I joined an Engineer - Constantine Bovalis of Cozy Co to help startup founder Sybil Berry of Lemonaide, Co to develop a new design for her retractable walking cane. My part was mostly focused on designing the Handle and Foot, as Constantine focused on the staff and the complex mechanisms that needed to be created for the product to function properly.
Our goal was to get this startup a beautiful, working prototype that they could take around for in depth user interviews, testimonials, pre-orders, and investor capital.

Our prototype was fully approved by the team and now Constantine (Engineer) is developing some needed mechanisms for a final prototype. With this, our client will conduct in depth user interviews, gather testimonials, pre-orders, and raise investor capital. At that point we will be helping her with her first manufacture run!
