+ LITTLEST PET SHOP + REBRAND + PACKAGING INNOVATION
-
As the Art Director and Illustrator, I led the creative vision for the Littlest Pet Shop rebrand, guiding the design and illustration teams to reimagine the brand for a modern, inclusive audience. I developed imaginative pet environments and a cohesive illustration style that inspired creativity, hands-on play, and self-expression. By shifting the palette toward blues and complementary tones and introducing interactive, sustainable packaging, the brand gained a fresh, girl-facing identity that broke from the pink-saturated toy aisle.

Redefine packaging and brand visuals to stand out in a crowded toy aisle while engaging a new generation. Establish a bold illustration style and cohesive design system, collaborating with engineers, marketers, and designers, and integrate sustainable, interactive elements to enhance play and engagement.

Led the transformation of Littlest Pet Shop’s visual identity and packaging, mentoring designers and illustrators to ensure consistent, high-quality execution.

The rebrand elevated Littlest Pet Shop as a forward-looking, inclusive brand that empowers kids to create, decorate, and play on their own terms. Packaging and illustration innovations contributed to Hasbro receiving the Environmental Merit Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, reinforcing leadership in sustainability and responsible design.

Pets on the go
Directed and illustrated a versatile air-to-sea themed world designed to unify all pet characters across product lines. The illustration was crafted to serve as a cohesive brand environment — adaptable across packaging, digital, and merchandising — capturing the playful spirit of Littlest Pet Shop while offering storytelling flexibility for pets from land, sea, and sky.
Travel Pets
Collaborated closely with engineers to develop innovative packaging for the Littlest Pet Shop rebrand — including a collectible purse that showcased multiple toy pets in a playful, display-worthy format. Designed to enhance shelf appeal and unboxing experience, the purse became a top seller and has since become a sought-after collectible among fans.
Packaging Reinvented
Partnered with cross-functional creative teams from Dallas to Pawtucket to lead the Littlest Pet Shop rebrand — a bold effort to break convention in the pink-saturated toy aisle. The rebrand pushed the boundaries of packaging design through the exploration of new materials, interactive formats, and fresh illustration styles that redefined the brand’s visual language and shelf presence. Concepting packaging with bioplastics allowed for a minimal yet modern approach, particularly for the Sparkle & Shine and Deco-Pets lines — balancing sustainability with playful, collectible appeal.
