I did the core design for knob interaction and all mvp features. I especially enjoyed working with the mechanical engineers on this project.

Product Areas I Worked On:

Knob controls and UI patterns
Adding in the power button
UL requirements for stove user operation
State changes. On/Off, Menu Nav, Timers, LEDs, Sounds
LCD specifications
Usability, accessibility, ergonomics.
User testing with physical prototypes
Battery and energy saving features
Connecting the Wi-fi

Concepts for mobile app, cooking presets, guided recipes
