Liam Bembridge
Exercise product for elderly users that incorporates Tai chi and standardised therapy techniques to improve overall strength to prevent falls. Reducing sedentary behaviour through gamification of exercise, using music as a stimulus to motivate.
I've always been curious to how things work, with a background in woodwork and my interest in art, I have always been able to think quickly in a practical way. Using my abilities as a designer and a maker I am able to create solutions for users problems and work with them to develop a product that is practical and benefits them.
