Baggin’ up tons of smiles

Some projects are just about creating joy

Hey, at least it isn’t fanny packs
Most of the work I do is solving problems, but this project was less about solving a problem and more about just putting good into the world. That said, people don’t stop to smile or say nice things enough, so there is something to accomplish here!

How we architected the solution
I partnered with the legendary Chris Dunn to breathe fun and life into the entire brand—from the mark to the colors to a mascot that embodies the vibe and the mission.

The next step in spreading this kindness was to start getting these thoughtful designs onto canvas, eco-friendly tote bags.
The result? A nice twist to Shopify
