HOLD-EASE
Collaborative project between Toronto District School Board, CoDesign, and 3rd-yearIndustrial Design students at OCAD U, designing products for people with special needs by employing ethical participatory design methods and finalizing user-tested prototypes.
Meg Robson partnered with a fellow industrial design student in the core course Design for Health & Wellness. This lead to the development and fabrication of an assistive wearable tool for people with lack of grip strength or wrist/hand-mobility.
DesignTO 2019 Exhibit at OCAD University
In this exhibition OCAD U Industrial Design students explore what collaborative, investigative, people-first, ground-up approaches show what we might do to better design our world, recognize and facilitate our personal and physical needs, and enable us all to be important contributors to and participants in our city, society and culture.
Through a variety of design projects ranging from devices that foster learning for children with special needs to a ground-up exploration of what we might change in the world to keep us engaged, happy and healthy as we age, this exhibition explores and expands what we can contribute as designers.
