Sketches & Concept Art

Using the modeling software Nomad 3D, I sculpted a set of six figures, each inspired by a different flower or plant and designed with expressive forms and distinct personalities. The lineup balances cute, humorous creatures with a secret carnivorous plant to add rarity and excitement. Implementing the use of a 3D printer allowed me to add a functional features in the fabrication process such as one character having glow in the dark finishes, and this adds to the interactions of desktop toy appeal.

The retail sell sheet was designed to present Plant Pot Pals as a market-ready product by highlighting its key features, functionality, and visual appeal. Balancing engaging graphics with clear product information, the layout communicates the concept quickly while providing retailers and buyers with the details needed to understand the product's value. The design emphasizes clean hierarchy, approachable branding, and a professional presentation suitable for sales and merchandising.

The technical drawing translates the Plant Pot Pals concept into a production-focused document by defining dimensions, construction details, and assembly requirements. Created with precision and clarity, the drawing demonstrates an understanding of manufacturing standards while ensuring the product can be accurately fabricated and assembled. This piece highlights the importance of bridging creative design with practical production documentation.

The packaging extends the botanical concept through plant pot containers. Instead of opening a foil bag, users pierce the sealed top of the plant pot and dig through the dirt colored confetti with the attached shovel to reveal their figure, transforming their reveal into an excavation. This approach reduces waste while turning the unboxing moment into an engaging, thematic experience that connects product, packaging and play.
