I competed in The Institute Of Packaging Professional’s national competition, the 48 Hour RePack. I was team leader for our team of four to complete the prompt given:

Create packaging for Westrock that gives corrugated cardboard bulk shipping boxes a second life.

In just 48 Hours, with limited tools we handcrafted and created Out-of-the-Box. Using bulk children essentials shipping boxes, such as diapers, we perforating various designs into the sides of the box. Creating recyclable easy to assemble toys, giving the boxes a second life.

We placed Top 3 in the nation wide competition and were invited to Coca-Cola Headquarters in Atlanta to present Out-of-the-Box. We won the People’s Choice Award, as well as placing third place overall.
