FlushBlocker
For this project, my goal was to design an intervention that effectively influences human behavior in a specific situation. I chose to address a personal pet peeve—people flushing the toilet with the lid open. This habit not only contributes to the spread of germs but is also an avoidable oversight.
To tackle this issue, I developed a playful yet functional solution: a sculpted hand affixed to the back of the toilet lid. When the lid is raised, the hand physically obstructs the flush lever, forcing the user to lower the lid before flushing.
Designed using the Adobe Illustrator and Autodesk Fusion, May 2025.
