6 Week Project | Fall 2021
Objective: Design a toy that fufills a need of some sort
This is Andi, a 6 week project from fall of 2021. The goal of this project was to produce a toy that solved a problem for one type of toy, for this one, it was made under the umbrella of toys that raise awareness. Andi is a doll that is made to help kids express how they feel without putting it to words, or defining what it really is, made especially with LGBTQIA+ children in mind.
The Andi doll is made with a hollow in their chest, and comes with a set of beads that are inscribed with emotions, imagery, and thoughts. This allows kids to visualize both feeling their feelings and communicate them to someone else.
