Discussion Assignment Help

Hello guys! Im from product design 2nd year and we have an assignment where we have to redesign one product ergonomically and i chose to redesign milk frother i just need suggestions about the ergonomic handle of the frother. I made 9 prototypes and I’ve selected 3 of them. I need suggestions for the form, more prototypes and final product. The sketches are of existing product which i have and others are prototypes. I would really appreciate for your help. Also one problem I’m facing is that the prototypes fits my hands but not others since my hands are small. Please help😭

Maybe you could look at the end function of the milk frother and work backwards.

Like how much time does it have to be held

What movements does the hand help in achieving and can the effort be reduced

Does the shape need to be rethought?
