Updates

Through this post, we would like to share the progress made over the past few days. Following the feedback received from Group 3, we have further refined the sketch of the selected design. The chosen design focuses on reducing the number of containers commonly found in kitchens. Moreover, recognizing that the target users are older adults, we have prioritized creating a product with a more accessible and user-friendly opening mechanism. With the design adjustments finalized, we have commenced the development phase, which involves creating a 3D model of the product. Below, we present an update on the ongoing progress. While the product is not yet complete, we aim to provide an overview of the process. The accompanying images illustrate the assembly of the product by components, offering insight into its development stages. We are committed to delivering a practical and thoughtfully designed solution and look forward to sharing further updates as we continue to refine and complete this project.

Meeting updates

On November 14th, Groups 3 and 7 connected with the goal of providing feedback on our designs. We organized a video call through Google Meet, which allowed us to communicate across China, Mexico, and Spain. From our side, the call went very smoothly, and Group 3 was very friendly and kind. During the call, we discussed which designs each group should focus on improving. We recommended that they continue with Idea 6 and provided some feedback, which we also shared in writing on the platform on November 15th. We hope our suggestions were helpful, and we mentioned that they can reach out to us with any questions, either through the platform or via WhatsApp. Group 3 chose Emma’s second proposal. They also provided us with feedback on improvements we should make to the product. We will get to work on these suggestions in order to enhance the project. We would like to sincerely thank Group 3 for their help and commitment throughout this process. Their collaboration has been very valuable, and we truly appreciate their effort and support.

Project progress

Today, November 14, 2023, we have organized a meeting with Group 3 to receive feedback on the designs created by each group. From the beginning, we agreed to meet on November 14 at 10:30 pm (Spanish time), taking into account the time differences between our teams. Group 3 is based in China, while in Group 7, one member resides in Mexico and the other two in Spain. We ultimately held the video call at 10:45 pm Spanish time, which is fairly late for our group, while for Group 3, it was 5:00 am. We would like to sincerely thank Group 3 for making the effort to join at such an early hour to collaborate. The goal of this meeting is to conduct a video call through the Meet application to exchange feedback on the current designs. We, as Group 7, took on the task of organizing the video call and selected Meet as the most suitable platform to facilitate the session and ensure that the process is as clear and productive as possible for everyone involved. Following the videoconference, we will work on implementing the suggested updates to the designs.

BIO: Garazi Navarro Ugidos

My name is Garazi Navarro Ugidos, and I am a student of Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering at TECNUN (University of Navarra), located in the city of San Sebastián, Spain. San Sebastián is a beautiful city in the north of Spain, renowned for its incredible gastronomy and rich culture. The city offers many lively celebrations, such as the Tamborrada, held on January 20th. However, I live in Lasarte-Oria, a small town just 15 minutes from Donostia by car. While it’s not as large as San Sebastián, it is a great place to grow up due to its friendly atmosphere and sense of security. Living here in the Basque Country has also given me the opportunity to learn one of the most beautiful languages in the world: Basque. In addition to Basque, I also speak Spanish and English. My hobbies include playing basketball and traveling. I have been involved in sports since I was a child, and I continue to play basketball for Easo, a club in Donostia where I’ve been a member since I was eight years old. I currently compete in Spain’s first national league, which is the fourth tier of Spanish basketball. Playing basketball is my refuge—a space where I can relax and recharge. Additionally, I have a deep love for traveling, as it allows me to immerse myself in different cultures and broaden my perspective on life. One of my biggest dreams is to travel the world with my family, as I am a very family-oriented person and enjoy spending quality time with them. I will graduate in 2025, but I am excited to continue learning beyond university. I would like to find a company where I can start my professional career. I am open to working in Spain or abroad, as I’ve always been eager to experience living in other countries. I have a passion for creativity, innovation, and designing solutions that help people. Creating something that can positively impact someone’s life has always been a dream of mine. I have a particular interest in biomedical products due to my long-standing desire to contribute to the healthcare field. Additionally, I am very interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence and design, and I am eager to explore how AI can be integrated into innovative solutions. I am also thrilled to be part of the Global Design Studio. Sarah, Emma, and I are eager to start working on developing a solution for a country like China. The cultural differences inspire us to think outside the box and foster personal growth. We believe that working in a culturally diverse environment not only challenges us to approach problems from fresh perspectives but also helps us build adaptable, globally relevant solutions. This opportunity allows us to expand our creative horizons and collaborate in ways that push the boundaries of design and innovation. We are excited to dive into this experience, knowing it will be a significant step in our personal and professional development. You can contact me via WhatsApp:…
