KIYO  | The Challenge
Plastic packaging adds to carbon footprint and waste. Spa products are no different and can often come with chemicals in the ingredients and excess packaging. The spa experience should reflect a time of ritual, relaxation and holistic simplicity.


The Outcome
Eco friendly bath products that utilize minimal to no waste. KIYO is a Japanese inspired concept that plays on the visual aesthetic of Sushi. Japanese culture celebrates ritual and self care is an invitation to consciously take steps to induce relaxation.  It leverages the health benefits of this culinary dish and transforms it into a spa experience.

Blush Heights  | The Challenge
Concept company that specializes in all things glass. Sometimes these type of products can appear boring and chaotic when searching for certain items on a platform. The goal was to create an inviting atmosphere that allowed consumers to explore and provoked them to purchase.

The Outcome

The vision was to communicate a welcome and refreshing invitation through color with a slight translucency that glass can have. A more simplistic approach was taken in this branding process. This allowed for the glass products to really shine and not be overwhelmed by graphics. Consistency was important and the design style is carried throughout.

FEW  | The Challenge
Federally Employed Women is a private organization, FEW works as an advocacy group to improve the status of women employed by the Federal government.

They needed more online presence outside of the National page, an easier method of membership fee transaction, a consistent way of delivering information and enhancing engagement and volunteership with a younger audience.

The Outcome

By delivering a more seamless experience and online presence, the result was a rise in interest and new members as well as commendation by FEW National. Together the Instagram page, Facebook and website allowed for  easier interaction and bridged the gap between old and new members. The old method of membership transaction decreased the barrier to entry and allowed for an increase of membership fee due to the elevated organizational experience.

PRESERV | The Challenge
Plastic is polluting the earth. Single use plastics are one of the most daily used and toxic plastics. Our research and consumer insights revealed most people were to lazy to carry reusable cutlery, it was too campy and were worried about the bacteria that would grow in between washes. How can we design sophisticated cutlery that would motivate active consumers to carry and utilize on a daily basis?

The Outcome

Our team prototyped a cutlery kit that was not only beautiful, but offered a microbial cloth that cleaned residue and a case that encompassed everything in one place. The Refined Foodie was our MVP that delivered what the consumers wanted in reusable cutlery. Our final product ended with PRESERV, a beautifully designed and sophisticated cutlery eco system that integrated into their lifestyle and addressed the gap in between washing.

ALCHEMY TEA LAB | The Challenge
Barriers to entry regarding the purchase and consumption of tea. How might we better understand consumer pain points, bring awareness and creatively engage buyers to activate purchasing?

The Outcome

The experiential design of Alchemy tea was to engage the consumer by personalizing the tea experience. Their consumer journey started by choosing their mood/personality which led them to a type of tea that best suited them. By delivering an interactive retail experience that not only engaged them, but educated the consumer on health benefits. We were able to remove the intimidation of lack of product knowledge, prep and usage. Post digital survey revealed consumers were more wiling to purchase.
