HI-TEC® BAGS

As part of a three-person design team, I helped develop a small line of four lifestyle backpacks, each tailored to a specific user need. Our process began with user research and market analysis to define core functions for each type: a sleek commuter bag, a versatile day tripper, a durable hiking pack, and a minimalist everyday backpack.

We collaborated closely throughout ideation, sketching, and prototyping phases, focusing on ergonomics, material selection, and aesthetic cohesion across the line. This line was developed as part of a broader collaboration with Hi-Tec, where we worked as a licensed partner to bring their brand vision into the lifestyle accessories space.

The result was a thoughtfully designed collection that balanced functionality with style, each piece serving a distinct lifestyle purpose while maintaining a unified brand identity.
