“Enables comfortable gardening for users with physical limitations”
Context Analysis
This project aims to redesign a garden sieve that is ergonomic, efficient,
and durable, for gardeners with limited grip strength or mobility challenges.
Traditional sieves often demand excessive effort and repetitive motions,
causing discomfort and strain.
By prioritizing ease of use, durability, and accessibility, this design will enable
gardeners of all abilities to work with less effort and greater enjoyment.
