OXO

Design Engineer
August 2023 - Present

At Helen of Troy, I had the pleasure of working on the Industrial Design team for the home and outdoors division of the company. One of the brands I was also able to work on was OXO, an award-winning home goods company. In this role, I focused on design engineering of upcoming products across outdoor, kitchen, and appliance categories.

For each project, I worked alongside a designer to develop solutions based on a project brief. This process involved identifying consumer needs, user testing, mechanism design and prototyping, and developing final DFM CAD for production.

In this role I was able to develop my experience in the following areas:

• Advanced 3D modeling and surfacing using SolidWorks

• Design for mass production focused on injection molding and sheet metal forming

• Developing solutions based on user insights, user testing, DFM, and DFA

• Mechanism design and material selection to optimize performance and durability

• Rapid prototyping using SLA, FDM, CNC, and welding

A few of the products I worked on have launched, which you can view below. However, I was also able to work on several other products still in production! Due to the confidential nature of this work, please reach out if you would like to learn more
