Start by clarifying the scope: which disabilities, what environments, and what constraints. Then follow a user-centered design process: define personas, generate ideas, prioritize features, and iterate based on feedback. Emphasize accessibility, inclusivity, and Amazon's leadership principles like Customer Obsession and Invent and Simplify.
Pro tip: Show empathy by focusing on specific user needs rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, and tie your design decisions back to Amazon's leadership principles to demonstrate cultural fit.
Ask questions to understand the target users, their disabilities, the contexts of use, and any constraints (e.g., budget, materials, manufacturing).
Create 2-3 personas representing different disabilities (e.g., mobility, visual, cognitive) and list their specific needs and pain points when using a chair.
Brainstorm features that address the needs (e.g., adjustable height, pressure relief, voice control, sensory feedback) and prioritize them using a framework like RICE or MoSCoW.
Describe a low-fidelity prototype and how you would test it with users, incorporating feedback to iterate on the design.
Discuss how the design could be manufactured at scale, its potential impact on users' lives, and how it aligns with Amazon's mission.
