Teabreak
Teabreak is a tangible communication kit which allows you to chat with a colleague on your break. The smart tea tray included a dial canvas in which you place your colleague’s unique 3 part code, and contacts your colleague when you lift your cup from it. The accompanying app confirms who you intend to chat with. The pieces that make up the code double up as tea making utensils.

The experts in the cancer world were fundamental in my decision making and process. Gaining their feedback on ideas remotely, allowed me to constantly prototype responding to their feedback. Storyboarding specific moments within interactions proved the be the most intuitive way to connect with the experts as they were able to see the value in these moments.
