The adjustable workstation aims to address many problems in our society. The pandemic was one of the main incentives for this project since many people are working from home. The need for an office space at home has grown tremendously and many people are investing into their home workspaces and looking for products that will meet their work needs. In addition to having something comfortable, we wanted to design a table that is accessible and safe for a wide range of users like people with disabilities or limited motion. Therefore, the workstation is equipped with two different motion mechanisms, one of which is a linear actuator that allows the user to adjust the height of the table and another tilting mechanism that allows the table to go to an angle of up to 20 degrees. These two mechanisms would allow the customer to have a more comfortable experience while working for long hours. An additional core component to the design is a hidden, mechanism driven, storage compartment and a shelving unit where the top shelf can be brought down for easier reach. If the shelf is placed on the wall behind a desk, then after the shelf is brought down, it can slide forward to make sure the user can access the items on it.

For this project, I was in charge of the Tilting Mechanism and the general design of the table such as the Stationary Portion and the aesthetics.
