THE
product
The Zipper Aid is a 3D-printed assistive device designed to help individuals with limited mobility or disabilities close a jacket independently. Developed in collaboration with the non-profit organization Blue Heart Hero,which creates a variety of open-source accessible products. The goal is to build a platform where anyone can download, print, and use these tools freely.
MY ROLE
I led the end-to-end design and development of the device, working closely with end-users throughout the process.
