The Wheelchair Space and Securement System

The WSSS was developed as part of a transdisciplinary studio course. We have done extensive research with many of the types of stakeholders involved in this space to inform our design and presented our work at several conferences. Our team is transdisciplinary, allowing us to work on diverse aspects of the solution, ranging from economic analysis to UI/UX. I have worked on the technical elements of the WSSS by developing CAD models, renders, animations, and physical prototypes, and I have done some of the research behind the WSSS as well.
