By graduating with a Bachelor of Industrial Design, I intend to pursue my career further by diving into the perspective of building and construction within an industrial Design perspective as architecture and building are key passions of mine.

Ergo Walker

The ergo walker has focused its design to centre around maintain and possible improvement of the users health. Shock absorbent carbon fibre pole allows for a slight bend with each strike to the ground, removing a forceful impact to the wrist that over time can cause aggravation and discomfort to the shoulder and back.


This carbon fibre pole replacement also will be available in a variety of sizes to suit the users height and removes the adjustable feature that can be a risk for deterioration and cause the walking stick to fail.


The original design requires the user to form an unnatural arched position with their hand extended forward, however, the ergo walker recorrects this and requires the user to have their arm in a natural right angle position and a vertical grip. The input of stabilization technology provides the user and their family's with a safety feature connection to an alert application monitoring the user's location as well as a three-point sensor system that will alter the application users when the Ergo walker has become horizontal for over 15 seconds and no handgrip sensed.
