Svasara Test Party (one): baby shower

Earlier this month we had a baby shower for a friend and we decided to make it the first unofficial test/focus group for Svasara,Inc. After all the guests arrived we told them that they would be designers for the new baby. We gave each of the them two baby clothing items and then showed them how to design using the tools that we had created. I was really surprised at how besutiful everything came out, how each person really enjoyed and liked the idea a lot. It was really very good feedback and surpassed my expectations.

In addition, people loved the designs (patterns) that I had developed for them to use and the most amazing part was seeing how each person used them on the clothes - ways that I would not think of & truly depicting how everyone has an unique creative sensibility. It was great to see how when given the tools and techniques how creative each person is - the best items were designed by people who said that they did not have a creative bone in their body.

The mother-to-be was really happy as well and now she has unique pieces designed by her friends and family.

You can see the photos of each individual item that each guest designed for the new baby
(with some close-ups)(all designers are adults except for one 7 year old and one 8 1/2 year old).
