Persona
Luke is a 32-year-old graphic designer who works remotely and lives alone in a small apartment. Cooking is an important part of his daily routine—not only because he enjoys experimenting with food, but also as a practical way to save money while he works toward his goal of buying a house.
Despite his love for cooking, Luke finds his current kitchen setup frustrating. His heavy wooden cutting board is bulky and difficult to maneuver, especially in a compact space. He often has to make multiple trips between the trash can and the stove during meal prep, which disrupts his workflow. On top of that, transferring chopped ingredients into a pot or pan can be messy—food frequently slips off the board, creating extra cleanup and wasted ingredients.
Luke values lightweight, space-efficient tools that make cooking smoother, faster, and cleaner—without compromising on style or quality.
