We used a participatory design process and design-for-one to design Susan, a voice interactive, rotating, modular storage solution.
Susan is comprised of two elements: a lazy susan with six compartments and a custom Alexa voice UI. I worked to design and prototype the mechanical design of Susan, and after we finished our high fidelity prototype we delivered it to our participant, Janet, who continues to use it to aid her in cooking and crafing. |

The voice UI (VUI) is an Alexa custom skill which works with any Alexa device to keep track of objects placed in the Susan.
It activates by speaking these commands: Adding, returning, and organizing items
