University design student with a few questions for mums kitchens

HU-118216717
3 years ago

Hi everyone, I am a design student at university and I designing a product for mums(I am not allowed to fully disclose what I'm designing otherwise I would). Would the moderator/s be okay with me asking a few questions - if you dont want to answer certain questions just leave them blank but here the questions are:

Name, age?

How many children?

What age/s?

How often is the kitchen used in a day?

Do you ever use the kitchen as a place more than just for cooking?

How often do you clean the kitchen?

Is the kitchen adapted in anyway to help with your day to day life?

Do the children have set meals on set days/ times??

is cereal eaten in your house?

(if no, no more questions)

Do you stock up on the boxes?

Does everyone eat the same cereal or are multiple different cereals open at once?

How often is it eaten?

How long does it take to finish a packet on average?

I hope a moderator is okay with this as well as you mums, I appreciate it very much if you take the time to answer.

Thank you so much

    Why is this only addressed to "Mums"? Don't other people use kitchens, eat cereal and feed children? Fathers, for a start, grandparents, foster parents....
    First rule, when working in design, particularly in the house, consider the needs of all the users!

    Hi Sue, I have to ask for mums as that is the target audience I have been briefed to design for, normally it would be taken into consideration, however seeing as I have to design to a brief I will stick to asking mums.

    Thanks for your reply, sorry to make a fuss about this, but maybe question why your design brief only wants to know about Mums. Inclusive accessible design is important for everyone. Design should work for all the people who might use it. (And I am aware that women of all ages and reproductive status are often not considered during design and planning!) See sizing of PPE, height of shelves, height of car seats, etc etc etc etc etc... Consult Caroline Criado Perez if you want to hear more about this.
    And now I'll get off my soapbox. Hope you get the information you want!
