-
Creating a story around this new Premium Blind Box series, that centers around make-believe and "head in the clouds" imagination. The goal was to create unique drawn artwork not only for the outer box and PDQ display, but for individual character cards. All artwork and logo design for Fun Squad series 1 was done by Dustin. The character images were created in partnership with the Concept Designer .

Funko Inc . Premier Packaging Concepts
date. 2022 - present
objective. With Funko I've collaborated with project development teams, artistic directions, and team leads in coordination with licensor's assets & style guides to create original design solutions for packaging in the Funko standard branding. Some projects utilized style guides with pre-determined branding, and some required a unique and original approach. Through collaboration with team leads & members, I reviewed concepts and print samples, and well as participating in brainstorming sessions.

​
goal. Funko tasked it's Packaging team to create concepts for possible premier items, ranging IPs such as Disney, DC, Warner Brothers, etc. The goal was to create packaging that felt luxurious & stepped away from the traditional Funko POP figure packaging. These concepts incorporated a concept series known as "Funko - MOOD". These high end items would be featured in high end packaging.
