2. In
a
world
where
customization
is
increasingly
used
as
a
weapon
to
combat
mass
commoditization,
customized
items
themselves
risk
becoming
commoditized
to
the
point
that
they
lose
personal
meaning.

Kwyjibos
Lab
is
a
web
application
that
allows
users
to
design
and
order
their
own
plush
creatures
(
).
This
project
is
an
exploration
into
how
the
customization
process
can
be
designed
to
inspire
users
to
create
meaningful
objects
they
have
a
personal
connection
with.

can
I
enable
mass
customization
while
maintaining
the
aesthetic
concerns
of
the
co-‐
designers
at
each
step?
