Statement

Moving is considered one of the top stressors in life. When people move, they experience multiple challenges. For example: lifting heavy furniture, navigating through small spaces (door frames, corners, narrow hallways, stairs), keeping belongings organized, finding other people to help them move, continuing living (and even working) while belongings are in transit, and moving in extreme weather (snow, heat, rain). Design a way to help people move households.
