Why Linklock?
From our ideal experience of bike safety research, we revealed three design opportunities. From these we opportunities we decided to prototype a smart lock and app combination.
Chosen Design Opportunity
01 Smart Lock
Opting to design a smart lock was our chosen direction, driven by the belief that it held the greatest potential to fulfill our framework, enabling users to take control without reliance on their destination.
Branding
We wanted our brand to reflect the ideal experience characteristics with the main focus on the emotion reassured.
