Inspiration

  • 3D printing technology available at school made us realize how accessible 3D printing is.
  • Customizable handmade ceramic tools gave us the idea to make rounded handles with varying thickness.
  • Custom haircare products like Function of Beauty inspired our format and UI.

Challenges

  • Finding time to meet before the deadline.
  • Deciding how much energy to focus on the backend, the idea, and the website itself.

How we built our project

  • Using Figma and Canva!

What we learned

  • Financial impact is heavily dependent on what assumptions we make in our calculations and can vary greatly.
  • A lot of people have accessibility difficulties but are underserved in the current makeup/beauty industry.
  • There are not a lot of beauty companies leveraging the newest advancements in technology, like AI or 3D printing.
  • How to calculate unit economics!

Accomplishments that we’re proud of

  • Learning interesting technological research on 3D printing and scanning.
  • Created a somewhat functional wireframe and website on Figma.
  • Put design and marketing skills to use!

What’s next for A Touch of Accessibility?

  • Creating a more functional website for this project that includes mockups for the survey, scan, and selection.
  • Practicing our ideathon and hackathon skills by attending other projects!
