A dog treat pouch made for service dog handlers and dog trainers that followed the full Human-Centered Design process 

Current dog treat pouch designs are ineffective and inaccessible. As dog owners, we know what it is like to have to carry personal belongings, a leash, dog treats, poop bags, and more every time we take our dogs outdoors. This problem is further exacerbated for dog trainers or service dog handlers who might have to carry additional items for longer periods of time.

After conducting research through interviews and competitive analysis, defining our users and their use cases, and creating multiple iterations of prototypes, we have designed a dog treat pouch perfect for dog trainers, service dog handlers, and all dog owners. The product is made with specific, data-driven features that will improve the daily lives of dog owners and their dogs.

This project was part of an upper-level undergraduate course in User Experience Design (10 weeks) at the University of Washington. I was on a team of 4 students and served as the team leader.
