Zinc Casting Alloys Manufacturing Technology Transfer Group-Interzinc

I am very proud to say I was one of them. How I did it remains a mystery. I redesigned one of the most trivial resturaunt objects. A Napkin Dispenser.

Identical in form and function for decades, I was proposed the challenge of re-designing this object using die-cast zinc.

So i did, with absolute minimal production costs and a complete form and fuction make-over, I created The Billow Dispenser. And they liked it, liked it enough to send me a two thousand dollar check in the mail a couple days ago. An additional thousanddollars goes to the University of Oregon's Product Design Program.
