Koosh Ball Launcher
This concept-to-production project reimagined how a Koosh could be launched through hands-on exploration and prototyping. Seven different launcher concepts were developed and tested to discover new, repeatable ways to shoot a Koosh. The final solution paired the launcher with a newly designed Koosh ball featuring an integrated launching tail, preserving Koosh’s iconic feel while enabling a fresh play experience.
Role: Market research, concept development, prototyping, user testing, mechanism exploration, CAD, and production support.
