Storyboard Sketching

How can we help retirement-home residents keep in touch with their friends and loved ones?

Storyboarding


ROLES:

Ideation, Sketching, Final Design

This project focused on quick ideation and sketching to communicate a product pitch. The “People-Charm” came out of rapid fire iteration and design, and represents a small device which would keep the elderly in touch given their unique environment.

Bodystorming and improvisational acting uncovered some key themes – any device for the elderly needs to augment autonomy while complementing the physical changes in later life. Because of these, I decided to focus on a device which keeps people in touch, but shoots for design minimalism. One of the storyboard stories is presented below as a slideshow.
