Jodie Anderson

My name is Jodie Anderson and I'm a 3rd year student currently studying BSc (Hons) Product Design at the University of Dundee. I enjoy designing products that people can get their hands on and play with that actually physically work. I always consider the user throughout the course of my projects, getting my users to test interactions: what works and what simply doesn’t work. I enjoy working with people in order to understand their needs to design something appropriate for them.

Slowly getting there with my final prototype. Whilst waiting for my mug mould to set, I got to work constructing the Tea Stories box to stord the mugs, coasters and cards.

The Literature Review

Tonight I got started on writing up my literature review for the final hand in. After reading through pages of notes that I had gathered while reading various different pieces of literature, I got to work on narrowing my research into different categories which are my propsed research questions. I planned out what my literature review would include and answer and habe so far written an introduction. More progress tomorrow.

I laser cut/engraved a template which will be stamped into my ceramic mugs once they come out of the moulds and are still pliable.
