IO BLOCK PLAYGROUND

INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER

Guidecraft Inc, 2016-2017

We start with the idea of a special piece for the existing IO Block. After research and concept exploration, we design and launch a set of slides and people. After its success, we continue to add the IO Blocks Table and Gear set to complete the offering of the IO range. It includes IO People, to introduce role-play experience, Gear and Cank sets, to introduce the engineering aspect, and slides pieces, to introduce the additional fine motor challenge.
