The Research Process
Before my research process, I interviewed my partner to learn about her fear. After the interview, I noticed that her fear is the fear of being alone, abandonment. Then I searched it through the internet to gather more information about it. My research leads me to the information that mainly caused by a lack of self-esteem. As a result of that, I wanted to design her a tool that can boost up her confidence and helps her to overcome her phobia. After that, I came up with 5 several designs.

My Sketchbook
Throughout this process used my sketchbook as a tool to document my ideas and all the information that I have gathered from both web sites and by a partner. I also made some quick sketches to make it even more useful.
Design #1
In this design, I mainly inspired by a soldier vest, which provides both metaphorical and physical protection. This one nearly has a design of a shield that provides a smooth surface to attach things on. It has an illustration of a biological heart on it connected to all the veins which cover all the surface of the vest. This heart creates artificial heartbeat vibrations in order to keep her companied at all times. On the veins, it has the instructions of the technique “EFT”. “EFT” is a special technique which, psychologists use to reprogram their minds in order to get them over their fears.
Design #2
For this design, I again mainly inspired by a soldier vest, which provides both metaphorical and physical protection. She also mentioned she usually has a hard time showing her real identity to others and unleashing her inner colors. So I wanted to create a journal on the chest of the west to symbolize her inner personality. I also wanted to write down “EFT” techniques all around the vest to keep her protected. “EFT” is a special technique which, psychologists use to reprogram their minds in order to get them over their fears.
Design #3
In this design, I mainly inspired by Yeezy sunglasses. This pair has a heart illustration which creates artificial heartbeat vibrations in order to keep her companied at all times. It also has the “EFT” technique instructions in order to help her to reprogram her mind. “EFT” is a special technique which, psychologists use to reprogram their minds in order to get them over their fears.
Design #4
This one is a microphone which wraps around the head. It creates the sound of a real heartbeat in order to keep herself safe and protected at all times. It also has the “EFT” technique instructions in order to help her to reprogram her mind. “EFT” is a special technique which, psychologists use to reprogram their minds in order to get them over their fears. Once again, it has heart illustrations on both sides of it.
Design #5
This design is actually a more developed one of the first sketches. Instead of a soldier type vest, I replaced it with a more fashionable looking one. For this one, I used a Louis Vuitton half cutaway vest. It still symbolizes both metaphorical and physical protection. It has an illustration of a biological heart on it connected to all the veins which cover all the surface of the vest. This heart creates artificial heartbeat vibrations in order to keep her companied at all times. On the veins, it has the instructions of the technique “EFT”. “EFT” is a special technique which, psychologists use to reprogram their minds in order to get them over their fears.
