Hardlines

Vectors & Manufacturing Proofs

Designed enamel pins that capture dynamic character art and personality, translating both original characters and existing IP into clear, expressive silhouettes that tell a story within a static hardline format.

Developed industry‑leading enamel pin formats (such as interchangeable enamel pins placed through holes to make a unique POP) through viral design work.

Developed hardline products beyond enamel pins—including toys, keychains, charms, and collectible accessories—and paired them with softline elements to build cohesive, story‑driven product assortments that unify character expression, materials, and manufacturing across categories.
