PACKAGING PROTOTYPES
Working amongst the best engineers the first decade of my career is what has allowed me to transition into packaging development and engineering. I’ve learned from observing their trial and error. I’ve developed an understanding of how paper can be utilized and provide function and security while also considering how the proper treatments and finishes add perceived value.
There are just some things that a 3D render cannot communicate. I have shared a small sample of some of the prototypes I have created. I am capable of utilizing a cutting machine, like a Kongsberg, or cutting manually with an X-acto blade. Most of these are hand cut and assembled by hand. This allows me to work out any technical or assembly issues prior to a final structure template. With my background as a graphic designer, I am able to stay true to the aesthetics, story, and out of the box thinking that only a creative designer can envision.
