CLIENT: Zyliss

YEARS: 2004-2008

WHERE: Designed while at RKS

Zyliss is a Swiss manufacturer of innovative kitchen accessories and tools. Zyliss was looking to increase their market share in the US, and reached out to several US consultancies to help them rethink their product line and innovate new products. I worked on a series of tools - some still in the market today - and in the process accumulated over 10 patents and 10 design awards. A fun-fact is that my grand mother was finally able to understand my profession when I brought her the new Susi 2 Garlic Press to replace her original Zyliss Susi that she had cooked with for over 25 years.
