Photo realistic renderings were created to explore color variations and provide visuals of the final product. Once product sku's were finalized, prototypes were made for use in consumer testing and line reviews.
During the ideation process, a creative brainstorm session and user mapping was created to explore and discover product opportunities. Concepts were developed that addressed the key issues in ergonomics, aesthetics, innovative features and brand identity.
CAD models were generated to provide 3D representation of the concepts. CAD files were also used to grow SLA and FDM parts to verify usability of concepts.
In-home visits and competitive product audits were the beginning stage of the research process to determine the needs and wants of the targeted consumers. One-on-one interviews and observations provided a more in depth understanding of children's eating habits.
