Product Description In the initial process of uncovering a solution to this problem, Ashley came up with a few different concepts before the final version of Swick was created. She knew that a physical product that prevented candle fires was the way to go. Her first idea consisted of a candle wick that would burn in specific increments of time, which would limit the amount of time a potential fire could occur. Her second idea was to create a candle holder for any candle that would self-extinguish the candle, and perhaps be connected with an app to allow its users more control over their candles when they are not near them. Ultimately, Ashley went with the latter, and from there had to design a candle holder that would be the most effective solution to the problem. As Ashley researched her competitors, she noticed a few similar products on the market consisting of a glass container with a lid that closed automatically, and a timer that would close the lid and extinguish the candle in certain increments of time. However, all of these products were not very aesthetically pleasing, consisting of one plain design, no connection to an app, ultimately not allowing its users to have much personalization. In order to incorporate personalization into her product, Ashley’s candle holder will have options to change the light colors of the glass, and the ability to make the product into a fish bowl, moon, or soccer ball. The end product prototype was created using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. 25 | Swick
