Alpha Industries - “MRE” Inspired Patch Packaging
Problem To Solve: Create on brand military heritage/fashion industry packaging for patches that came with the Barney’s Exclusive Jacket.
My Role: I created and managed this design from the mood board to the final product. It is based on military “MRE” meal kits. I represented the 3 locations of Alpha Industries by writing the title in English, German, and Korean. I also managed expectations and workflow for internal teams such as Marketing ( to gain Barney’s approval of the art) and Planning ( on budget and including this project in the price of the jacket). I worked with the Printer to meet the deadlines and sourced the bags from vendors. I learned how to organize the timelines of many cross-functional teams and work with them to address unresponsive clients/team members.
Result: This project was created for a collaboration with Alpha Industries and Barney’s which after two successful sell-through periods picked up Ball and Chain for a triple collaboration. I also created an Alpha exclusive version for a D.I.Y Jacket which included markers and a sticker planning tool based on the jacket CAD.
