Slot & Snap is a modular cardboard construction system that promotes open-ended play for children aged 5 to 8. Addressing passive digital consumption, it encourages creativity, spatial reasoning, and problem-solving through hands-on building. Using geometric panels and reusable twist-lock connectors, children can assemble and reconfigure structures such as vehicles, houses, or abstract forms. A Builder Basics guide and companion app support learning and allow parents to document creations. Sustainability is embedded through reusable slot protectors that extend product lifespan. Slot & Snap combines educational value, environmental awareness, and meaningful parent–child interaction in a cohesive play experience.

Hi, I’m Xin Xuan. I’m a product designer who enjoys turning ideas into practical, user-friendly products. I like exploring concepts through sketches and models, then improving them through prototyping and user testing. User feedback always helps me spot what is unclear or awkward, and it guides my next iteration. I’m comfortable with CAD and 3D modelling, rendering, and putting together clear presentations. I care about the user experience and the small details that make a product feel better to use.
