The Snack’n’Jam is a key souvenir for any office or school workspace. It combines the neat and professional look of a headset stand, with the delicious taste and colorful look of your favorite snacks. It holds your headset when you are not home and allows you to retrieve snacks of your liking while working. It’s creative and unique because it combines two unrelated products, one of which is not commonly seen as a workplace item. The product mechanism allows you to put in different types of small candy and retrieve a handful at any time. The shape of the product allows you to hang your headset neatly when its not in use.

The UnTiED ideation element I used was seeking random connections. A headset holder is completely unrelated to a candy dispenser, yet, when I thought about it both products go incredibly well together.

The main design heuristics card I used was #43 make multifunctional. I wanted something that combined two unrelated things but made both useful. The Snack’n’Jam can satisfy your cravings while working and hold your headset when you are done. I also used card #9 allow user to customize as I wanted the user to be able to pick the type of candy they put into the machine.
