GRAZE
A vegetable peeler for users with different palm sizes and peeling preferences
About
Analyzing the lack of control and increased fatigue while peeling vegetables often made me frustrated. The existing market for vegetable peelers did not design for a wide range of palm sizes or encourage a bi-directional use. Graze
is an ergonomically designed vegetable peeler that is skid-resistant and flexible. The thick and malleable material
allows each user to mold its form according to their comfort.

Initial Testing
By creating wooden bucks, I was able to test different angles for the handle. This helped me observe how individuals across cultures peel differently, some peel downwards, and rest peel upwards. After analyzing peeling preferences based on different palm sizes and orientations of use, people had varying opinions on comfort.
Design Development
We started with simple ideations and created clay and PLA models to further conduct user testing. This helped me understand the user's comfort based on personal preferences while peeling. We were then interested in using a flexible material for the handle which can be moldable based on the user's preference.
