During my time studying Industrial Design at Western Sydney University, I have learnt many skills that have given me a solid foundation in designing interfaces & products.
I am currently working a Rotadyne as a Junior Industrial Designer, which has given me an opportunity to experience the industry first hand, specifically in rotational moulding. The experience thus far has improved my design skills & my way of thinking towards designing a product.
I love being active & getting hands on a project, as well as facing new challenges any project gives.
According to the 2018 Australian Bureau Of Statistics (ABS), 2.7 million Australians have asthma & find it difficult to breathe without certain medication. Asthma inhalers act as a reliever for users, providing 100mg of medication for when breathing becomes difficult.
The current issue of inhalers is the design being too bulky, which finds itself difficult to store in specific clothing such as jeans with other accessories of a phone, keys & wallet or in activewear clothing during exercise activities. This is due to the limited or no pocket space within the clothing. The result of this leads to people inventing their own solution of how to carry their inhaler on them while out & about. Solutions researched & reviewed have included the user to either hold it, not carry it on them, or invent their own carry clip.
The ultimate solution is to improve the carrying experience to be more comfortable & accessible. The concept consists of a slim design, that can be easily attached or stored in the user’s pocket, suitable for all activewear & modern clothing, so that your inhaler is always there when you need it, regardless of the activity!
