Problem Solving
A collection of inventions that solve problems from my everyday life
This project can be read as a critique of current design practice. Instead of focusing on self-reflection and constant branding, I want to emphasize the need to address more significant challenges. Therefore I suggests to redefine design first and foremost as problem solving. Inspired by ordinary yet effective inventions like the ball-point pen and the Fischer dowel, I developed a routine to identify and solve tangible everyday problems quickly. A series of case studies showcase the process of improving function through design. The project encourages designers to fundamentally rethink their role in solving the problems of our time as they are in an ideal position to change the world.
