Most tools exist to do a job and disappear. Nobody keeps a multimeter around because they like looking at it. I wanted to see what happens if it didn't have to be that plain.
"Objects carry personal meaning beyond utility. At the reflective level of design, ownership fosters identity, pride, and deep emotional attachment."
— Donald Norman, Emotional Design (2004)
This project reimagines a multimeter by shifting its focus from purely functional to expressive and approachable. Instead of treating it just as a technical device, I explored how it could feel more like an object people enjoy interacting with.
