Gemini

Gemini - UTS Major Design Project, 2023

Product Info: The Gemini Roast and Blend Mixer allows for the ability to roast different types of nuts, and being able to handle higher temperatures for drawing out good fats and healthy nut oils. This assists in creating an additive-free nut butter, which can be stored using the same container it was blended in, removing hassles for cleaning and reduces time, water and energy consumption.

Innovation Process - How did I get to Gemini?

This project used methodologies like the 5 Whys, reframing, and systems mapping to address complex design challenges at their root. Iterative prototyping and critical user feedback informed the final solution, blending traditional design practices with transdisciplinary insights. The work highlighted my ability to make independent, informed decisions while balancing creative vision with real-world practicality, setting it apart from conventional product design by incorporating systemic and user-centered perspectives. Furthermore, extensive prototyping and working with electronic components enhanced the realisation of the final appearance model.
