CAPSTONE PROJECT
THE REGAL ROLLER
As a cannabis enthusiast myself, I can appreciate the attentive and specific needs of cannabis users in their use and process of their consumption. Much of my own personal problem is the process of rolling a joint. Through the multiple steps, it takes to create the joint, there are tools created to accommodate those needs to make it easier. This involves a flat surface, steady hands, and a place to hold your product and tools. I found that many of the accessories I previously bought were all missing components of the process I needed. I wanted to create an interactive, multi-tool kit and rolling tray to assist in the need of rolling a joint on the go, or in a place where a flat surface may not be readily available.
