A foundational OSU Industrial Design program project, the winter market tasks groups of third year students with research, design, production, and sale of a small batch product. Focus is given to addressing sustainability and design of a home good.

Concept development sketches by me

Two product proposals were presented to a panel of judges who voted on the concept we were to produce.

Teetotes, our idea for a reversible tote bag made out of recycled t-shirts, won the vote.

Market analysis chart for tote bags.
We identified our goal to be a $30- $40 price point and to create a very meaningful experience with our product

We were able to produce 10 Teetotes in three weeks and priced them at $35.00 each. Alongside our classmates on OSU's oval, on a cold and wet day, we put on the winter market.

Some had been reserved for purchase before the event, but our totes sold out after only an hour.
