Fall 2025
This project focused primarily on market analysis and user research. I studied modern consumer and professional pest control solutions, then interviewed pest control experts about their experiences, to try and devise an improved mouse-and-bug trap to empower consumers to make informed and timely decisions when infestations arise in their homes.
The design I created at the end of this project BrightTrap: a glue board with a permanent base, which uses pressure to activate a light alarm. This notifies residents that a pest has been caught, allowing them to make informed decisions going forward and preventing animals from going unnoticed once caught.
