THE LUXE MANICURE HUB
My goal for this project was to bring a sense of thoughtfulness and organization to the at home manicure experience by prioritizing location, comfort, and storage.
USER RESEARCH
In my conversations with individuals who frequently do their nails in the home environment, I discovered common pain points of no set location to do manicures and unorganized tool storage. When looking at existing products in this space, there were no solutions that combined both of these pain points - I sought to elevate the at home manicure experience!
IDEATION & PROTOTYPING
After creating several different concepts and evaluating them based upon the needs of user, I decided to move forward with a product that combines the following components: hand rest, removable tray for nail debris/clippings, and storage components.
I further refined the design of the manicure hub by sketching and prototyping different forms to gain a better understanding of comfort, aesthetics, and size. The physical making and testing of prototypes ensured the size of the tray area would be large enough to catch nail clippings and the storage compartments would be able to store several common manicure tools.
