The trowel project was used as an exercise to illustrate the design process quickly in just two weeks. SketchBook Pro was used to conceptualize different scoop shapes and ergonomic handle possibilities. A common shape was agreed upon and then drawn in SolidWorks using complex surfacing techniques. The model was then transferred to Keyshot and rendered.

Final Model
The materials chosen were brushed steel for the scoop, a rubberized handle with thumb portion showing texture for grip.
