Designed the graphics on the BAND-AID water block bandage carton. There was a purchase intent problem with the previous packaging because the water droplets were not disruptive and noticeable on pack. Consumers did not understand the higher price point for this product vs regular fabric bandages. The solution of a pool of water printed on the package and mimicking the “smile” architecture of the brand was hugely successful in market.

The objective for the Carefree brand is to increase the daily routine of wearing a pantyliner for everyday freshness and confidence amongst all women. Often consumers misunderstand Carefree Pantyliners for a light menstruation solution vs a daily freshness routine.

Global Redesigns 2016
We launched the biggest tampon innovation in 10 years— the new Dynamic Fit™ technology derived from a special combination from a new and enhanced technology to create a 3D expansion to adapt to your body once in place.
For the packaging, we modernized and revolutionized o.b. from a functional commoditized brand to a lifestyle brand in the women’s health category. We reinvented the floral imagery that is typical in the women’s health aisle and created an unexpected color palette in the tampon aisle to establish a new era in women’s health packaging. The new brand perception is that this is for all women and in support of women to do more on their periods. “ob do” was the campaign that launched with the redesigned packaging.

Introducing tampons to the women in India
Introduced Stayfree tampons to women in India while educating many women in rural areas what tampons are. Since Stayfree has been a long trusted pad brand in India, the strategy was to introduce tampons to convert pad users to tampon users instead of introducing o.b. as a new brand offering.
Our team dove into the consumer journey through video interviews with Indian women in rural neighborhoods that gave us access to their living and bathroom spaces. We immediately understood the need for clarity of the benefits of tampons on the packaging as well as instructions for a positive user experience for many of their first experiences inserting a tampon.

The Information for Use (IFU) pamphlet was specially designed for consumers in rural India with easy instructional text, large diagrams with simplified anatomical illustrations, and tips in a friendly voice to promote dialogue to a topic that is still very taboo in India. Period.
I worked on high end fashion brand’s boutiques for Ecommerce website Rue La La, 2012-2013 after I graduated from Boston University.
From photoshoot direction with art directors, to telling a compelling visual story for consumers on the homepage, I worked closely with photographers, stylists, copywriters, and developers to get boutiques live on the site within 5 days of getting the creative brief (if not quicker!).
