LYNX
Improving an everyday work tool for facility

cleaning and maintenance staff

|    Personal project    |    5 weeks    |

For this project, the target group was facility cleaning and maintenance staff at Umeå University. The focus of the project was ergonomic design, mainly on the ergonomi of the hand and arm. Equally important in the project was brand management and relating brand values to form and expression. My given tool brand was the Japanese brand Olfa and the tool to develop was a scraper.
