Hand trowels are essential for digging, transplanting, weeding, and soil preparation in both indoor and outdoor gardening. Traditionally made of stainless steel with rubber, wood, or plastic handles, trowels often face issues like bending, breaking, and rusting over time.

To improve ergonomics and durability, I studied the structural weaknesses of similar tools such as shovels and serving spoons. Like trowels, these tools must withstand force, resist corrosion, and be easy to clean to prevent contamination.

To ensure the garden trowel aligns with market expectations and Simplehuman's existing product line, I conducted research at Home Depot, studying how garden tools are packaged and displayed. Additionally, I visited Target to analyze Simplehuman's in-store presentation, ensuring my design seamlessly integrates with the brand's established aesthetic and retail strategy.
