The Play Boxes

About the Project

During my time as Creative Director, I had the pleasure of expanding our product line into a new category; toys. I led the marketing team as we built an identity for this product from the ground up.

Key Deliverables: Visual identity, packaging, photography, video (tv commercial & play guides for each box), email, social, website & more.

This packaging design & identity earned 2nd place in The Dieline 2024 Awards in the category.

These 10 shapes are created from 5 base forms, when combined and/or skewed they from new shapes that comprise this system.

The minimal, yet playful aesthetic is inspired by they key tenets of Bauhaus design, and the idea of looking at the world through a child’s lens; finding total wonder in the discovery of the simplest things. Lalo is a brand that makes kid’s products for the adults in the room, so while the design system takes inspiration from the eyes of a child, the execution of the design is created with parents in mind.

Each box in the series of ten represents an age range that is marked by a single, bold shape and color. A play guide within each box sports the same symbol and bright colors to match.

The user experience invites customers to explore the boxes visually; not only with photos but with video guides to match the printed + illustrated ones inside the boxes.

A subscription flow takes parents and gifters through an onboarding quiz step by step.
