Packaging for beverage cooler

Packaging that I designed for the "Shot Tender®" bar item. No changes required. Item was bought by Ross®, TJ Maxx®, Marshalls® and HomeGoods®. ©Marmaxx Corp., ©The American Belt Co.

Creative directed "lifesize" Barbie packaging. Challenge was showing both outfits so I intruced the "5th panel", open door design. This design would eventually lead to commendations from club stores, Mattel® and internally at CDI®. ©Mattel, ©CDI, Jakks Pacific

Packaging designed exclusively for Staples® while at the The American Belt Co. Packages were in same PDQ, so although separated by category, must still stand together as a "family." ©Staples, ©The American Belt Co.

Pre-Wrapped Christmas impulse gifts housed in corrugated end-cap display.

Creative direction and/or design of items (from start to finish) for a Walmart® meeting. Focus was "BFF (Best Friends Forever)", so many of the items reflect that concept (i.e. keep half, give half to a friend) by being two pieces held together by handles and labels. These items received much internal praise. Almar VP of Merchandising said packages were "highly creative and innovative". President of Almar said that the watch package (upper right) was "excellent." ©Walmart, ©Almar

White box package designs that I created for home items while at The American Belt Co. The objective was to take lower end items and make them look classic and high-end. The package was VERY well received. ©The American Belt Co.

Packaging that I designed for the Caribbean Joe® mens accessory line once acquired by The American Belt Co.®. This brand was meant to be a direct competitor of Tommy Bahama®, so the packaging goal was to have a similar look and feel as Tommy Bahama®. ©Caribbean Joe, ©The American Belt Co.

"Metallic" packaging that I designed for 6 sided bar item. This was one of the design favorites being that it combined photography, line art and metallic ink. Item was bought by Ross®, TJ Maxx®, Marshalls® and HomeGoods®. ©Marmaxx Corp., ©The American Belt Co.

Challenged by Mattel to make make-up sets more inventive. Shop-front concept was a huge success.

Holiday low end sleeved and wrapped gift packaging created exclusively for Eckerd®. Items were displayed in corresponding POP display. The idea was for the consumer to remove the sleeve, cut out the "To, From" tag, and attach it to the gift, making it a great impulse item and easy for the consumer. Program was well received and bought by Eckerd® for several holiday seasons. ©Eckerd, ©The American Co.
