The basis of this term long project was to tailor an exisiting fitness or health tracker or wearable

​

Although this was a very minor project it is by far one of the most enlightening sand enjoyable I have ever undertaken.

​

Now that may have had something to do with my chosen user group beig retired women who I mostly drank coffee and discussed how yes indeed "gardening is an excerise and why don't wearable activity tracekers track that?"...with. But the whole reaosn it was so fun and enlightening is that I was entirely focused on the users, working with them to understand their wants, needs, desires and opinions on the product  was redesigning. This was done through various methods (as shown below) but I'd say the most useful was repetitive visits thoughout the design process and also transcribing and immersion so as to not just take what information I as a designer needed and predicted to get but to actually listen and retrieve useful and constructive feedback.

​

This isdefinitely the project which I discovered that I would gladly spend the rest of my design career, neigh life, sitting drinking coffee with users, or you know, working with people in general, but mostly the drinking coffee with folk.
