Glass storage for ART+Cook

As an Industrial Designer at Art and Cook my job was to perform in depth user and product research to identify pain points in the kitchen. I then created concepts using the insights based on research and observation. Finally creating factory ready 3D files and drawings and visuals for sales presentations.
