Post by Kaivahn Sarkaratpour
Hello, my name is Kaivahn Sarkaratpour and I am a senior at UW-Milwauke majoring in Design and Visual Communication. I have been working with my professor Frankie Flood over the past year designing and building 3D printed prosthetic hands for kids. This project has become really special to me and opened my eyes to how design can be used functionally and the ways it can better the lives of others.
This semester my research will focus on developing an adaptable piece that would make playing a trumpet easier. This design is for one of the children we have made a hand for and My initial findings were to just see how one holds and trumpet and if there were any designs that already exist. I am excited to get started and see how we can make it easier for the kids we help to do the things they love.
