Scoopi
An ergonomic ice cream scoop with an asymmetrical head and rounded point — designed to scoop smoothly and feel good in the hand.
An ergonomic ice cream scoop with an asymmetrical head and rounded point — designed to scoop smoothly and feel good in the hand.
I started with a mood board of organic forms — leaves, waves, architecture — then explored dozens of handle and head profiles on sticky notes before committing to a direction.
Hundreds of quick iterations tested curve quality, handle thickness, and scoop geometry — ruling out shapes that felt too generic, too sharp, or unnatural in the hand.
The chosen form pairs an asymmetrical scoop head with a rounded point for easier entry into hard ice cream — a clean curve through the handle without feeling boring.
I carved and 3D-printed a series of handle studies in foam and resin, then tested finishes in pink, white, and wood grain before settling on the final color.
From a hand-carved wood master to a silicone mold, resin cast, Bondo refinement, and matte pink spray paint — each step refined surface quality and ergonomics.
The thin, angled scoop edge cuts cleanly through frozen ice cream while the single-piece form keeps the experience simple — no moving parts, just a better scoop.
A top-down lifestyle shot placed Scoopi in context — berries, crushed ice, and a bowl of ice cream to show scale and the product at its most inviting.
Scoopi — a sculptural, ergonomic scoop in dusty pink that looks as good on the counter as it feels in use.
