Sun Prairie's Katlyn Ross took 2nd place in the 18th annual Student Design Competition sponsored by the International Housewares Association (IHA) for "Quick-Fix", a first-aid system that makes treating an injury fast and easy.
The design competition’s annual challenge to students is to redesign a current housewares product to meet the needs of the future or to create a concept for a new product. Winning projects are selected for their innovation, understanding of production and marketing principles and quality of entry materials. A jury of 10 designers, working in a blind judging process, recognized great concepts, backed up with research, development and creative design, to award a total of 10 prizes to students in nine design schools in the United States.
Katlyn' project, The "Quick Fix" system, organizes a first aid kit’s contents into smaller boxes that are labeled by type of injury or emergency, such as cuts, burns, stings, breaks/strains, choking and poisoning, and include simple instructions. The kits help users quickly choose the correct supplies and make first aid procedures more intuitive.
Katlyn is a Sun Prairie High School graduate and a senior at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design.
