In my project, "CG-flame: The Renewable Cycle of Coffee Grounds," I envision a greener future by designing an innovative camping stove fueled by coffee grounds' anaerobic fermentation. This eco-friendly approach not only mitigates waste but also produces bio-fertilizer, emphasizing sustainability and clean energy solutions. Influenced by straw fermentation research and inspired by Bubun Studio's ring designs and Snow Peak's steel lighter, I amalgamate functionality with aesthetics. Through user-centered design, I aim to create impactful, user-centric solutions by integrating robust feedback mechanisms and refining my expertise in user research and prototyping techniques. This journey has enlightened me on the iterative nature of design and the importance of sustainability in creative endeavors.
