Spruce Water Feature: three products that create a water feature
After my first trade show with Spruce Home and Garden, I discovered the large oversized bowls were not selling well. I then
decided to create a family of products (water globe & double duty planters) around the oversized bowls that can be sold
separately or assembled together. The result was a 50% percent increase in the oversized bowls.

Libre: handheld mixer
Most of America puts their small appliances inside their cabinets after use. I designed a small family of appliances that can
be charged in a wall mounted docking station. My intention was to create a working piece of art that you wanted to
showcase in your kitchen. It could come in an array of colors.
