BenjiLock Llc ("BL") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work BenjiLock Fingerprint Padlock. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
BL : The main principle and inspiration behind BenjiLock is to redefine the personal security experience using hybrid technology with the consumer in mind.
BL : My main focus was to design and create a solution for the issues that people and myself included were having as they went to the gym on a daily basis.
BL : The future plans are bright. BenjiLock is showing the world that disruption and innovation, if done right, can create a positive impact to society. The main goal for the rest of the year is to keep innovating in the field, polish the current product portfolio and bring the award-winning design of BenjiLock to market.
BL : It took me four years from sketching the idea to actually making the concept a reality.
BL : I was working as a director of marketing at a local real estate company. Sadly, they needed me only for a transitional period, and I was laid off in the month of December. The same day I got laid off, during the nighttime hours, my daughter was born. I was extremely happy, but being laid off also made me feel depressed. I felt lost and became overweight, so I decided to start going to the gym to help myself get back on track. That's when the inspiration of BenjiLock was born.
BL : My main intention is to produce the work myself, but I am extremely overwhelmed in a positive way of other companies interested in the production rights of my invention, so the future does look bright.
BL : The need to create a solution to a personal issue I encounter going to the gym.
BL : I don't have a design or designer that really influenced me, however, I do have a great passion for popular brands, consumer products, emerging technologies, entrepreneurs, traveling and the wonders of life, so personally for me, I tend to get inspired and influenced by all of this.
BL : The target customer is largely constructed by Millennials, Generation X and Baby Boomers, which shows that these markets have an amazing passion for an active life.
BL : The patented hybrid technology and the simplicity of it's functionality.
BL : I wanted to come with a catchy and simple name to remember, so while bouncing ideas, the name Benji came up, so I just decided to call it BenjiLock.
