Project Overview
Project Goal
Create a compact, non-electronic facial brush that is ergonomic, easy to handle, and cost-efficient to manufacture. Prioritize contour reach, stable grip, and hygienic storage.
About the Project
The Facial Brush is a compact, non-electronic cleansing tool with silicone bristles and a targeted top profile for improved reach around facial contours. A dual-purpose two-finger grip supports secure handling and functions as a suction cup for upright storage. The form is optimized for comfort, stability, and low-cost manufacturing.
Contribution and Key Challenges
Designed two-finger grip that enhances control and doubles as a suction cup for hygienic storage
Shaped top profile to improve access to nose and eye areas
Refined silhouette to a square-rounded profile for better stability and comfort
Optimized housing design for low-cost, durable production
Ensuring spatula-shaped top maintained comfort while reaching confined facial zones
Achieving consistent bristle alignment within tight tooling constraints
Balancing thermal component integration with compact housing requirements
Maintaining CMF continuity between silicone, aluminum, and plastic parts
Meeting IP-rated sealing tolerances without sacrificing visual refinement

Project Overview
The Brief
Design a compact facial device combining cleansing and massage functions. Ensure ergonomic comfort, vibration performance, and manufacturable form within a minimal aesthetic.
About the Project
The Sonic Facial Brush is a compact skincare device combining daily cleansing and massage functions. High-frequency vibration is delivered through silicone bristles, with a flexible top for improved contour access and a contoured reverse surface for localized massage. The design prioritizes portability, ergonomic comfort, and efficient manufacturing.
Contribution
Designed compact housing geometry to balance cost efficiency, aesthetics, and ergonomics
Developed wave-like ridge surface to deliver localized vibration and reinforce product identity
Created high-density bristle pattern aligned to complex surface curvature for visual precision and cleaning performance
Translated Illustrator bristle design into DWG format for seamless integration into SolidWorks CAD
Key Challenges
Maintaining consistent bristle alignment while following complex surface curvature
Designing wave ridge geometry that delivers effective localized massage without adding cost
Achieving a visually minimal form that accommodates internal components and tooling constraints
Balancing aesthetic clarity with durability in multi-material construction
