I designed retail packaging and displays in both 2D and 3D for big box stores down to the mom and pop shop level. I also handled the product designs of our glove lines, as well as print and digital media. The largest ongoing task that I took over was maintaining our ever-growing brand standards and making sure that the work that we produce reflected our brand identity and all brands under the West Chester Protective Gear® retail umbrella.
