Pinpoint the painpoint.
Look for the awkward, weak, obsolete or poorly considered thing that people have simply learned to put up with.
SandPD is an independent product design studio started by 4th Year Product Design Engineering Student Sandy, focused on finding overlooked physical problems and turning those problems into properly considered products through design, prototyping and small-batch manufacturing.
Design, prototyping, testing and small-batch manufacturing stay close together, so each stage can influence the next.
Look for the awkward, weak, obsolete or poorly considered thing that people have simply learned to put up with.
Generate a broad variety of different ideas, and getting an understanding of which solution best fits the brief.
Get hands on, figure out what works, and what doesn't.
Test the details that matter in real use, find the weak points and refine them before they become somebody else’s problem.
Put all the hard work to use, in a final assembly that succesfully remedies the initial problem.
If there is a physical problem worth solving, send it over.
