Graphic Design
This project was to re-imagine the logo and packaging for a popular grocery product, I chose Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. I chose strong bold type and shapes to convey a message from the grocery isle to the customer in an eye catching fashion. Using Pillsbury's formal syntax I created the color scheme and applied visual themes where necessary.

Folding Hanger
This project was a clothes hanger redesign. I created a folding system that uses the weight of a garment to hold the hanger open. The hook and oval move independently from the rest of the system and serve to wedge the shoulder bars open when an upwards force applied. Simplicity is the key to making this system work, and a folding hanger affords greatly increased loading and unloading times for commercial vendors and create more ease of use in the home.

Commuters Day Pack:
For my first complete textile project I took on the challenge of making a complete backpack. It is a commuter style pack with a drawstring top for extra protection from rain and wind. Padding on the back, straps and bottom serve as both a form of protection and add comfort. The pack face also includes a strapping point to hold either a water bottle or large rolls of paper.
This project was incredibly challenging but also incredibly rewarding since I now have something I can use every day. I may try to improve this design in the future or attempt a different style of backpack entirely.
