In this project, my team and I were charged with redesigning packaging and isle display for Disney Princess, Barbie, and Monster High doll lines. Through this project we examined, observed, interviewed, and identified shopping patterns across age groups, economic scales, and sexes. We ideated, conceptualized, and developed innovative and graduated packaging and sales platforms- geared to become more complex and accessorized as the intended age of user increased.

In this project, I teamed with a colleague from (graphic design/industrial design) to develop new package concepts for Simply Orange, a subsidiary of the still beverage division of The Coca-Cola Company. We went through the processes of research, conceptualization, and refinement to develop working scale prototypes of new packages complete with new brand identity and marketing/merchandising concepts. We worked with a number of different stakeholders within Simply Orange and The Coca-Cola Company to refine the concepts and develop prototypes. I gained experience working directly with a client, understanding their needs, and delivering designs on their timetable, according to their guidance, and within the guidelines they provided. In this process, I learned to persuasively communicate my thinking, both visually and through presentations to the client, and use feedback constructively to improve the final design.

Developed innovative solutions for aquatic equipment at Pentair Water, within the Pool and Spa division. Final deliverable presented to the client contained research, concept ideation, CAD models, high quality computer renderings, and a scale aesthetic prototype.
