CAPSTONE PROJECT
GRIP GAINERS
My capstone project aims to redesign the handle grips found at the gym to improve the user’s hand-to-object interaction during physical exercise. Handle grips are currently made from materials that are not durable or biodegradable therefore they create a lot of waste and harm to the environment. My goal was to find an alternative that better attains comfort, safety, and durability while working toward a more sustainable future.
