Seeing that the co-design participant is quite clear in expressing what their daily struggles are and what possible solutions he envisions, a lot of ideas had been generated early on into the design process. They are good in communicating their needs and wishes, which made it easier for the group to come up with multiple concepts. The group had several interview sessions with the co-design participant to gain more insight into his situation. Three of these were online and two physically at their home, to have a better understanding of their real-life situation from a better perspective and to show the created concepts. At every interview, more perspectives and ideas were created.  

​

Therefore, as the co-design method was creating and testing a concept, out of the most liked concepts, two cardboard prototypes were made beforehand. The snake and the folder concept. To the co-design session, some scrap cardboard, paper and markers were brought, with the goal of creating some possible concepts together with the co-design participant. When finished, the pre-made cardboard prototypes were discussed together with already existing products. During the interview questions about these concepts were asked, to find out what would or would not work for the co-design participant.
