Spoon is used mostly for cooking oil dispensation but oil dripping from the bottom part cant be controlled. If the bottom is coated by nonstick material, being coeff. of friction very less (0.1), oil will be dropped very fast.
Spoon with non stick coating on the bottom
Mock up models for better grip
Trying a hand in Rhino software
Sketches to explain ergonomic grip
We applied Design process principles in this simple product design. The project was an opportunity to design right from the level of need identification till the final prototype for the product.
Final concept being made with MDF & plastic
In actual use!!!

Concept for medicine reminder
Existing medicine containers
Need of medicine dispenser cum reminder for elderly peopleMemory loss Difficulty in reading medicine names Difficult to remember medicine schedule Compulsory so boring procedure AdvantagesTo make the task easy To make them habitual about taking medicines on time To maintain their health in better condition To avoid dependency To reduce the stress & worries of their children, well wishers. Concept featuresEasier location & access of medicines because of the provided slope in the compartment. More area to open the lid so to avoid the pinch grip. Centrally located alarm. Signage on the buttons. Black compartment - night time medicines white compartment - day time medicines. Seven compartments for daily medicines extra one for general medicines. Compact size & light in weight . Operation with either hand is possible.

Cut 2D forms stuck on paper relating form & space
Radii manipulation of 2D forms & their 3D conversion
3D forms in Rhino software
One 2D form is selected and arranged in different manner to understand form-space & their relationship. Also we put emotions into form arrangements.
Basic form study | 2D & 3D forms | Form studies
To develop the importance of forms in space & their structure, aesthetics.
