ppe was set at the height of the pandemic, when every shared surface was a transmission risk. i designed a dispenser system that could be operated without contagious contact, with masks and gloves drawn out cleanly and foot levers working the soap dispensers so nothing needed to be touched by hand at all.
the work ran through cad iterations and physical prototypes, testing the mechanism and the assembly until both held up. it was awarded 99 out of 100, the highest product design mark in wales that year, and the head of the wjec product design examination board came to inspect the work in person.
not architecture, but the same toolkit and the same process applied somewhere else entirely.
