Better Zesters

Client: Edgeware
Employer: Teams Design
Year: 2011
Role: Design Intern

Edgeware is well known for their compact and ergonomic knife sharpeners, but they wanted to expand their product line into other kitchen tools. They developed a unique v-shaped blade that is perfect for small zesters and graters and tasked Teams Design with developing a unified line of products to enter the market with.

As an intern I was on a small team developing concept forms for these new products. Through rapid 2D visualization we explored a variety of directions before settling on one that worked well and fit into Edgeware's vision for the brand. Prior to the end of my internship, I took several of the designs and developed initial CAD geometry to guide prototyping.
