Product Information

Now without the crutch of calling myself a student, I sometimes call myself an aspiring designer or a designer at heart. In the past two years, I have slowly discovered the language of design as the red thread to weave together my various professional and personal interests in business, art, anthropology, and more. It led me to work with Human Side of Tech last summer, TA Designing Your Tufts last Fall, and take an industrial design course last semester, among other explorations. What I loved about the class was that it nudged me towards actively practicing through the entire design cycle, to place my interest in project-based learning, from aspiring designer in theory to “practicing” designer in action.

I loved the idea of them on each side. I also enjoyed having the other things with less use on the inside.I was afraid of having a two-fold wallet because I used to think the volume would increase or be less practical. But to my surprise, it was comfortable and practical. One point that bothers me is, I find it very useful to have this window that shows the ID document and at the same time, it bothers me when I have to remove it. Because people generally don't like just seeing it here just like that.

fat quarter quilting cotton (or a a few fat eighths if you want to use a variety of prints in your wallet)What could be improved ] Hannah was contented when I showed her the prototype. She did not wish for further improvements and was satisfied with it. I loved participating in the process and having my needs listened and translated into a prototype. I confess that I came to consider using the prototype as my official wallet. ;) What I've learned

It made me more empathetic and understood the person or interviewee I’m designing the wallet for. I wanted to find out more about Hannah by asking about the contents of her purse, experiences, and feelings. Talking to Hannah gave me some insights on what I’m going to do/design that will benefit her. What worked ] Everything is okay, according to Hannah. She liked the wallet’s simplicity and the new design/variation. The color and zipper of the wallet were followed. Everything she suggested last time turned out to be great for her.It was good to test it, this was "the obvious" not so obvious to me. Now I was able to do it better with the things I've learned: Hannah wishes a simple, bifold cardholder with a money slot for her ideal wallet. She mentioned that her current wallet has no coin compartment, so when there are coins, it becomes bulky. Hannah is looking for a smaller wallet with plenty of room for cards and bills that could hold a lot and will not be bulky even with all the cash, cards, and slots filled. Hannah’s ideal wallet is something that can keep everything she needs and fits in her purse or bag. Even though the exercise is to design the perfect wallet for a friend, I didn’t want to jump directly to the solution space. So based on the interview and observations, I decided to use the jobs-to-be-done framework that would allow me to deconstruct the job that he was trying to get done. Change the material for Tyvek (vegan-friendly) and the process of making the wallet would not involve animal exploitation as well;
