During this semester we worked with Rubbermaid's food pan department to innovate and design the next big thing in the food pan industry. I decided to go in three different directions with my projects. I designed a inclined drip tray, a full sized food pan that can be drained and also, i designed a label with a thermocromatic inclusion to inform you of the temp of the pans contents.
