Challenges and Learnings

Balancing Human and Non-Human Needs in Design

Embracing Speculative Design

In this project, I faced the challenge of balancing non-human-centered and human-centered design principles. Crickets have varying living requirements based on their age, and figuring out how to simplify operations for people required careful thought. I strengthened my skills in creating designs that consider both non-human and human needs.

This was my first experience with speculative design, which involves designing for future applications. Speculation in design is more than mere conjecture; it requires substantial evidence to ensure the product's viability in the future. During this process, I conducted only a few interviews. I believe more substantial evidence is needed to demonstrate that this product can address future problems and integrate into people's future lives.
