This project was my first experience working 100% remotely. Our team emphasized flexibility and empathy with one another as we were each adjusting to the ways in which our world was changing. When we hit a roadblock midway through developing a concept, we evaluated our options and made a crucial pivot together. Although, we couldn't 3D prototype our design the way we would have liked, this was a greatlearning experience in how to communicate design ideas on the fly and how to be scrappy and innovative.
