Dish Wand | Winter 2025

I redesigned the dish wand handle with a focus on ergonomics while maintaining compatibility with existing sponge refills to avoid unnecessary waste or proprietary consumables. The geometry was developed around the constraints of the original sponge system, and the grip texture was parametrically generated in Grasshopper to enhance comfort, traction, and control. The final prototype was fabricated in glass-fiber–reinforced nylon for durability in a wet environment, with a TPU over molded grip. This project emphasizes user-centered design, iterative prototyping, and material-driven decision making.
