Project Two :
Cocktail smoker kit  






































This project started with a simple observation: a bartender at my local spot using a cocktail smoker. The process felt messy, impractical, and detached from the guest experience. I saw a chance to improve it. The result is an all-in-one smoker kit that keeps the workspace clean, makes the process efficient, and turns the ritual into a performance guests can enjoy.




Problem Identified

 While the final result was compelling, the process wasn’t. The bartender had to juggle multiple tools, clean up ash, and manage an awkward setup. It had potential, but the design didn’t support the experience.Design approach 

 I reimagined the cocktail smoker as a single, self-contained kit—easy to use, clean, and visually appealing. Function met theater: the design allows the bartender to interact with guests, creating a moment of storytelling and ritual rather than a technical chore.
