PALM

Palm is an inclusive hair styling tool that empowers

individuals, who have limited hand mobility, with the capability to style their own hair.

Palm was created through an extensive iterative process of

research and prototyping; co-designing with occupational therapists who helped evaluate key pain points. Prototyped with foam, wood, and computer aided design and 3D printing. Each step in the prototyping phase was met with user testing and deliberation.
