Mealhero Smart steamer for frozen meals

Three young entrepreneurs wanted to reinvent healthy eating for busy professionals with a smart steamer for frozen meals. Their hacked prototype worked, but wasn’t scalable, user-friendly, or ready for mass production. Steam posed major design and material challenges, especially under tight timelines and budget constraints.

In close collaboration with mealhero, we engineered a sleek, functional steamer that balances heat resistance, usability, and aesthetics. Through rapid prototyping and co-creation, the team delivered two Kickstarter-ready models, one for looks, one for function. After hitting their funding goal, the final product was refined and launched successfully, selling over 5,000 units.
