Professional Projects

Below are a few examples of projects I’ve contributed to professionally. Through my time at Newell Brands, I worked on the Calphalon brand, focusing on cutlery, and the NUK brand, focusing on baby oral care and development.

Calphalon Space Saving Cutlery Sets

Two knife sets designed with space in mind for the Precision and Contemporary cutlery lines. With existing knife designs, we developed knife blocks to minimize countertop footprint. We adapted the SharpIN technology to fit the smaller framework while still offering a complete set of knives, delivering the essentials for any home chef.

Calphalon Classic Stainless Steel Set

Recognizing the trend of home decor moving toward grey tones, this set was a new take on Calphalon’s standard Classic Self-Sharpening cutlery line. The original SharpIN knife block received a weathered grey stain, while every knife was redesigned with a full stainless steel handle, matching the Classic look by replacing the smooth plastic with a matte sandblasted finish.

Calphalon Select Self-Sharpening Set

Further expanding the Self-Sharpening feature to more of our product lines, we developed the Select 15 Piece set with SharpIN to offer the benefit of self-sharpening at an opening price point.

NUK Sensitive Orthodontic Pacifier

NUK’s first global launch of a 100% silicone pacifier. Designed in Germany, produced in the U.S., this pacifier delivers the iconic NUK orthodontic pacifier benefits in a form that’s soft against baby’s face. These pacifiers are easily cleaned in the microwave using their reusable storage container.
