Blackstone Products Griddle Scoops

The griddle scoop was my first professional project at my first product design internship. The team had previously identified a similar tool as a potential value add for their lineup. During my co-op, I was responsible for advancing the project from idea through research, sketching and up to prototyping. The final products, pictured above in both large and small sizes, have a clear lineage from the prototypes I created.

3D prints that I modeled to validate ergonomic variables like weight-in-hand, maneuverability and effective capacity. Unfortunately, I did not document much of the work I did while at Blackstone. Since this first internship experience I've learned to document all of my work, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Documentation of work is every bit as important as the work itself.
