Joseph Joseph is a kitchenware company that aims to revolutionize everyday home tasks, making them more efficient. We are expanding the company’s product portfolio into electric mixing devices for the existing Joseph Joseph consumer base for the year 2027. This device will directly reflect the company’s design language of integration, organized, and durable design. After looking at the existing products from Joseph Joseph, I have decided to create a cordless immersion blender which touches on the pain points of trouble managing cords during use, and finding a dedicated storage space which is in line with the brand’s organized and clean identity.

People who chooses to dine at a fine-dining restaurant looks forward to having an exceptional experience, and alongside with the large number of competitors, it is important to ensure that we can provide them with the most unique experience. As social media has become a big part of everyday life, the purpose of this project is to design a form of dinnerware for Medici Restaurant & Bar Bangkok that helps make their food more visually appealing. Chef Bart Cywinski looks to complete his diner's dining experience using creative-designed dinnerware that differentiates Medici from other fine-dining restaurants. The product has to consider the mood it creates for his customers and how the materials co-exist with the food on the plate. The main material used for this collection is black walnut because of the beauty of its grain, color, and material durability for a luxury project.

Investigating the process of meal prep and how it can encourage consumers to make healthier choices, I designed a portable salad container that is inspired by the idea of reusable water bottles, an existing object people already use in their day-to-day in the workplace under the concept of adhoc. The compact and portable nature of the Salad Cup allows young professionals to have a healthier and efficient way to meal prep for their workday as the insulated container keeps the vegetables fresh without reliance on a communal fridge which can sometimes be an unsanitary storage space.
