Reflection

This project was an interesting way of examining product redesign from an ergonomic perspective. I enjoyed taking an everyday object and figuring out a way to make it easier to hold through something as simple as clay modeling. In retrospect, I would have picked an object that was more solid and easier to model onto as modeling onto a strap was pretty difficult given its flexibility. However, by examining strap grip design, I found that this gripper (when turned upside-down) also works extremely well for carrying things - such as heavy grocery bags or duffel bags - so this project definitely has potential future applications beyond transit.
