Ask HN: I want to design a new mixing bowl, where do I start?

I'm a software engineer by trade and I have an idea for a new type of mixing bowl. This is a completely new domain to me and I'm not sure exactly where to get started. I'd like to do this with a very small budget.

What type of resources can help me build the prototype? For example is this something I can design via software? I'll need help getting the design correct, testing a prototype as well as figuring out how to manufacture it.
