A stud finder for the home
spring 2018 | 2 months
Problem
Stud finders are seen as tools that live in tool boxes and geared towards a male consumer.
Opportunity
To create a new market segment for stud finders as home goods and used by all.
An untapped market
The brief was to redesign this stud finder while keeping the components the same. Looking at the market, all stud finders have a similar boxy form and aren’t very ergonomic.
The new home owner
This stud finder is perfect for a young new home owner who is excited to decorate their new space. Their stud finder will be part of their daily life and designed so they don’t want it just shoved in a tool box.
How might we redesign a stud finder to be a home good?
