This five-week sprint covered the definition, design and execution of seven griddle tools, built to expand upon the Solo Griddle designed at Smart. This holistic project touched upon user experience, ergonomics, mechanics, materials, CMF and branding elements across each individual tool. Resulting deliverable encompassed factory ready design CAD, 3D printed models, CMF documentation and visual assets for marketing purposes.
