Recycled clay, formed by hand
Crafted my inaugural research project around the humble coffee mug, probing how its form shapes the drinking experience. I examined how rim width influences aroma delivery, how cup dimensions govern heat loss, and even how fluid flow targets different taste receptors on the tongue. Though the data revealed negligible sensory differences, the exercise sharpened my skills in experimental design, sensory analysis, and critical reflection; reminding me that even intuitive ideas demand rigorous testing.
