Competitive analysis


An in depth analysis of existing tools was made from high end to inexpensive, exploring all possible materials in order to determine the right one for the target market.






Prototype


Design revisions were made based on observations and user testing in order to finalize the design and move forward with mass production.





Final Design


DesignFinally the La Mer face masasge tool design project was concluded, material was selected and massage technique determined to be launched into the world
