Funko Inc . Disney 100 Packaging Design
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. Upon celebrating Disney's 100th anniversary, Funko is releasing a series of POPs to commemorate the legacy of The Walt Disney Company. Being assigned to the D100 series, my goal was to utilize Disney's 100th Anniversary style guide to create a unique, engaging & memorable packaging design that perfectly honors the characters and movies that each POP item represented. With a unique approach to the packaging layout, I am excited to recognize the amazing characters, movie, and leaders of Disney with photo call-outs and stylish background patterns, wrapped in a bright and light-catching foil. The packaging not only blends seamlessly with Disney 100th branding, but gives Funko and Disney fans something refreshing and new for packaging.

goal. Create a cohesive series of POPs that feature Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars characters; each with their own style guide to fit within the Target Retro-Reimagined brand. Collaborate cross-functionally with project manager and all three licensors to ensure the individual IPs will fit within the targeted style. Use character assets appropriately to celebrate the characters on the box; a practice implemented in the D100 series.

goal. The goal was to create a unique, purposeful, and on-brand design for the Willow series, which did not have an established Style Guide at the time. Lucasfilm suggested we use past merch, marketing & promotional materials, as well as the movie itself as reference to create the packaging design. Pulling together mood boards that consisted of said assets above, I create three completely different and completely unique designs that told the Willow story. Each design was meant to bring the audience back in time to the 80's when this movie was released.
