Toy Design, Prototypes

The puppy from the Build Your Own kit range is an adorable and playful cardboard model designed for kids and adults alike.

It's a charming, easy-to-assemble kit that brings a cute, friendly puppy to life using environmentally friendly cardboard materials

Designed to reflect BYO’s family-centered values, this project emphasised fun, interactive elements appealing to children.

I collaborated cross-functionally to align the product with brand messaging and used consumer insights to enhance design features, resulting in a successful multi-channel rollout targeting young audiences.

As the cardboard engineer on the Puppy kit, Jack designed the white model and the accessories to ensure a fun and functional product.

The Puppy kit was produced by Build Your Own, Paper Engine.
