Lifetime Brands wanted to develop a new form of an expanding Over the Sink Colander.  One that did not slide to open and would provide additional functionality aside from draining. From 2022-2023, through research and functional development, I was able to successfully design and patent an expandable colander that drains, stores, and dries your items.  The item was released in early 2025 on QVC with a dish drain insert before being moved to Amazon.
