After interviewing people I realized I really only got a few people who really gave some good ideas of how to improve the object. Most people that aren't in design wouldn't understand and I felt that most of them didn't. I interviewed four guys and six girls. Most of the girls cared about the color and half of the guys said something about the color. Overall it needs to be more appealing.
most of them would like it to have a better grip with a thicker handle. Maybe even a curved handle. It needs to be better on the wrists, to help with people with arthritis. But most of all people thought it was mostly a good design that still needed a lot of work to become better
