Eco-Farms
Human-Centred Designer
By working closely with the company's creative manager and design team I helped them to produce simple and intelligent ideas to appeal to the right public and reinforce the emotional connection with the brand.
Apart from branding, packaging and exhibition design for the brands Jolly Organics, Eco Organics and Absolute Organics, the work also involved:
• Researching, generating insights and analysis to provide strategic recommendations
• Crafting ideas to meet clients' brand objectives based on consumer insight
• Working strategically to bring together brand goals, retailer objectives and consumer needs
Apart from the design work I consider that my main contribution was the introduction of the concept of project management with the Kanban board in order to help the creative manager to maximize efficiency, manage the design process, and keep track of tasks assigned to the team, thus increasing the design team's performance.
