Role

Design innovation lead developing the initial prototypes, building leadership support and directing work with external partners.

Pampers · 2019–2021

I saw an opportunity to make everyday parent–baby moments more delightful through augmented reality. Snapchat offered a way to meet parents in an app they already used. I built the first Lens Studio demos around faces, diapers and packs, using existing graphics as triggers without changing the product or packaging. I connected with Snap through Lens Studio support, secured funded agency development and used working prototypes to bring Pampers leadership on board. The work helped launch Love Starts With You campaign in 2020. Early pack concepts later informed the Storybook lens, launched in March 2021.

Meet parents where they already are. Build on Snapchat, without asking them to download another app.
