The icons used for preparing design sheets for dishwasher fascia panels had to meet strict requirements, including specific line thickness, printability, and compatibility with laser engraving. They also needed to be suitable for back illumination and designed in combination with typography, ensuring consistent placement and spacing across hundreds of different fascia panels in over 25 languages.

A concept for guiding the consumer on how to load the dishwasher to maximize space.
Idea
This dishwasher rack features longer wires on its outer edges, guiding users to place tall items there. By doing so, it creates more room in the top rack for larger items, simplifying the loading process and generating loading capacity.
Prototypes
These are the real-life prototypes built to test with actual consumers and conduct live testing. This process allows us to gather valuable feedback and make iterative improvements. Through continuous refinement, we aim to enhance the overall design and functionality.
All Items. Everywhere
Concept of a dishwasher basket exploring a fully flexible Layout
Main focus of the concept: water-feeding pipes integrated into the basket frame to save space, eliminating the need for a spray arm. Second: every item can be placed in any position for full flexibility. Therefore, the lower and upper baskets can be identical.
The Sinner Circle explains it quite well: these four factors influence the cleaning result. If one component (such as time) is extended, the others are needed less because the dirty dishes soak longer and are therefore easier to clean.
The spray arms and the water pressure from the nozzles represent the “mechanical” aspect.

1: Controlled Lower Spray Arm
A dishwasher’s sprayarm is usually powered by the centrifugal forces of the water.
The “Controlled lower Spray Arm” is a motorized version, that is capable of moving independantly of the water. The CLS was introduced to US market and is beeing roled out worldwide.
This intensive zone doesn’t need higher temperatures; it uses three jets to clean stubborn items. I helped work on the jets, focusing mainly on the manual user switch to turn this feature on and off.
3: Concept
I am most proud of this concept: a four-chamber spray arm where the two diagonal ones are active, allowing the spray arm to rotate in two different directions without a motor. The benefit is that the water reaches different areas, leading to better cleaning results.
Clockwise turning
The water is sluggish and takes on a direction.
Counterclockwise turning
The waternozzles turn their direction and the angles is better to reach hidden areas.
If the water came only from one direction, the dark areas of the graphic bowls wouldn’t be directly exposed to a water nozzle.
How does it work?
Four chambers, with the two diagonal ones being active.
The switch to the other two chambers can be achieved by a change in water pressure:
