Research
Primary and secondary research was conducted on all the carts used around the two ArtCenter campuses. This research was used to gain meaningful insights, identify pain points with the primary, secondary and tertiary stakeholders and learn the desirable attributes of a cart.
Design for Desirability
Aim to design a cart around the desirabilities of the users.
User Interviews and Testing
Interviewing ArtCenter students and staff to get feedback on the DOTPOD designs and experience.
ArtCenter Cart System
DOTPOD is an autonomous pod service for everyone at ArtCenter College of Design. They can be used by students, professors and workers alike. DOTPOD derives its name from ArtCenter's iconic logo, 'The Orange Dot'. My goal with DOTPOD was to create a system of connected pod-carts that symbolise what ArtCenter is all about and at the same time meet the stakeholders' needs.
