Interview with Derrick Frohne at Wednesday 4th of September 2013

FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
DF: To make this SD adapter versatile, a metric ruler was printed on the SD adapter to assist people with an option to use microSDHC +1 for measurements in small projects.

FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
DF: simplicity and functionality are two equivalent main focuses.

FS: What are your future plans for this award winning design?
DF: I hope enough people will buy the product so they can have another useful tool to make life simple and efficient.

FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
DF: microSDHC +1 preparation was less than 1 week.

FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
DF: The business I founded, Frohne, will distribute it and allow others to distribute it with all rights reserved to the CEO of Frohne.

FS: What made you design this particular type of work?
DF: I design consumer electronics to provide a useful tool and also to support my family.

FS: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?
DF: The SD adapter is the first adapter with a precise metric ruler worldwide.

FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
DF: Mecca and I were speaking and she randomly said, " 1 + 1 = Frohne ". She was implying that I was her other half that made her complete so I dedicate this design to Mecca.

FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
DF: I had to design something unique to compete with big corporations, with less resources and a very small budget.

FS: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?
DF: It was the logical choice to dissipate the publicity fast

FS: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?
DF: Design your own way, be yourself, think unique.
