The Problem
The design system needed to be flexible enough to cover a broad range of products, from everyday staples to new items like Mash-Ups, crispy mashed potato bites in bold flavors like cheddar and bacon.

The Solution
We created a warm, contemporary design system that highlights flavor, ease, and quality. I led the packaging for Mash-Ups, delivering a bold, playful look grounded in craveable appeal and real ingredients. Since product photography was not available, I used Midjourney to generate visual placeholders that helped communicate the concept during development.
