Polychromatic Dye Dispenser

ALM Project
2017

Working under the direction of Andrea Lenardin Madden, I helped to develop an automated point of service kiosk for online subscription company eSalon.

eSalon provides a subscription service of custom mixed hair dye.

Based on a user generated profile of data such as skin type, all dye is formulated and custom mixed on demand for each individual user.

In the fall of 2017, eSalon engaged ALM Project to design a machine that would act as a brand ambassador for the physical world, that would dispense the dye in front of the user and emphasize the custom nature of the mix.
