We are an early-stage startup focused on developing wearable technologies for beauty. Our first product is internally referred to as ePolish. ePolish are artificial nails that can instantly change colour from a mobile app by bringing the ePolish into proximity to the phone. Our team is entirely comprised of technical founders who are currently focused on finishing the prototype. We want designers to help us build our product's user interface and experience. So far, we have secondary research showing that women aged between 18-24 will be our target market.

The overall goal of this project is to have an interdisciplinary team that can be customer-focused and collaborate to ensure our product is appealing, intuitive, and enjoyable.
