What the work addressed.
Role
Client industrial-design work focused on appliance proportion, control hierarchy, surface transitions, and the character of a frequently used countertop product.
Challenge
Give a familiar appliance a clear premium identity while keeping its controls, touchpoints, cleaning surfaces, and everyday use immediately understandable.
Use proportion and surface transitions to make the appliance feel precise without adding unnecessary visual complexity.
Coordinate finish, detail, and user touchpoints so perceived quality supports daily use.
