Projects
- WIGGLE (Kids Electric Toothbrush)Having worked in 3d for many years and coupled with my conceptual creative skill sets, I was tasked to create a new children's toothbrush. having not much Product design experience I ambitiously jumped into the project. How to get Kids to want to Brush their teeth? That was my challenge. The first step was to figure out what the toothbrush would look like or represent, I decided to create a shape that would ergonomically fit inside a child's hand and then build the character around that.
