Industrial Design, 2017

The Thirst™ Water Bottle is designed so that when dog owners go on a hike, they only have to carry one water bottle for themselves and their dog. The top reservoir of the bottle holds water that the dog owner can drink out of and can also be used to pour water into a special detachable dog water dish. The very bottom of the water dish also houses a small detachable dog treat dish. Dogs can see only shades of blue and yellow while everything else appears gray. This is why Thirst™ Water Bottles are only featured in these colors. The Thirst™ Water Bottle is designed to keep people and dogs hydrated while on the go.

Ashley Fenton graduated from OSU where she majored in Industrial Design and minored in Entrepreneurship. She believes that Industrial Design is more than designing a product, it's also about designing an experience. One of Ashley’s proudest accomplishments as a student at OSU was receiving an award for her design, the Rootlet (an Outlet Safety Plug Holder), at the 2016 International Housewares Show in Chicago.
