Problem Space
University Students need to keep an access card on them at all times to tap in to doors. It can be a tedious task to search through your bag or wallet to find your card when you want to get into the classroom, especially when carrying big projects and books. Lanyards are a comparable solution, but are unattractive to the student demographic.
Approach
Designing a new way to carry one's card in an easily accessible way while still being fashionable.
Outcome
"Tap" is a card holder that can be easily attached to any belt or article of clothing with a few stitches. Users can express their style through personalized cut-out details on the cover. "Tap" allows the access cards to be easily accessible on the body and minimizes the chance of misplaced cards.

Users can upload any vector graphics they choose. Personalization allows for more self expression and emotional attachment to the product.
These cut-outs allow for the chip in the card to be easily scanned by the sensors on the door.
