Current Study No. 01 - The Snack Prodigy Lounge™

Right now, I’m studying The Snack Prodigy Lounge™, a family-forward space designed for parents and caregivers. This research focuses on travel pain points, amenity preferences, pricing models, and overall impressions, with all of the above measures applied to show how vending-based family lounges can scale across airports, government facilities, and beyond.

I am conducting a focused study on how private, boutique-style micro-suites can transform airport downtime into a curated moment of ease. This research explores when travelers are most likely to reserve a suite, whether in the midst of a long layover, recovering from a red-eye flight, seeking a quiet workspace, or navigating travel with children.

The study examines which design elements shape the ideal experience, from soundproofing and mood-based lighting to elegantly integrated refreshment walls. I am also analyzing preferences for pricing, session length, and aesthetic details, with the goal of creating a space that meaningfully reduces stress, enhances comfort, and delivers measurable value for travelers and the airports that serve them.
