Cultivator
In this project I was tasked with taking a garden tool and redesigning it to make it more ergonomic. I also testing it with various participants and recorded the findings.
To redesign the cultivator with the handle both vertical as well as horizontal, adding support going along the forearm and adding a better gripping surface. Following with user research to see which design was better.
THE GOAL
Pain Points
When in my initial testing I found that the angle of the handle felt unnatural and uncomfortable. It felt that the handle seemed easy to slip. I also found the thick handle might be harder for someone with smaller or joint pains hands to hold.
