This project started with a teardown of a standard Bluetooth speaker and the challenge of reimagining it for a much more demanding environment: a construction site. We focused on framers who deal with dust, mud, rain, and loud machinery, and imagined how a speaker could fit into that world. Early research showed that durability, glove-friendly controls, and simple setup mattered more than fancy features. Through sketches, foam models, and trial and error, the design evolved into a compact form with a clamp to mount almost anywhere on the jobsite. The materials and finishes echo the look and toughness of power tools, not consumer electronics — our product feels like gear a worker would toss into their bag without a second thought.
