Empathize and Personify
Understanding what problem I am solving begins with who the problem is addressing (In my case, city dwellers around the US). Researching behaviors behind the problem led me to the huge “Why Factor,” leading me in a direction I believed would create a solution for the future.
Defining the Scope
How the problem will scale in the future not only helps to understand the problem more but the solution. New opportunities and challenges helped shape rePRO into becoming a self-sufficient waste disposal not yet possible but influenced by today’s technologies.
