We spoke with a maker, a developer, and a designer to learn how to go from idea to prototype in one day.
While waiting for her family to return with ice cream after an early-morning bicycle ride down Huntington Beach in Orange County, Sally Dunne noticed a gentleman ride by with a double cup holder attached to the handlebars of his bike. A coffee was in one holder and a juice was in the other. A cycling fan with a textile design degree, Dunne immediately thought how wonderful it would be if people could easily beautify the handlebars on their bicycles. She envisioned a cheerful bloom of flowers clipped onto the man's bicycle handlebars. At that moment, her product Pedal Petals was born.
