Mosskin

Mosskin - 2015 Social Impact Student Notable

A vehicle of recovery for a marginalized community, Mosskin effectively blends elements of the pharmaceutical industry with fashion-forward thinking to create a soothing textile for female burn victims that is both functionally and aesthetically compelling. The Social Impact jury was equally impressed, commenting that Mosskin is: "an ingenious way to promote healing, inside and out.“

EVO Urban Utility Bike

EVO Urban Utility Bike - 2015 Transportation Professional Runner Up

Combining the functionality of a city bike with the tenacity of its mountain counterpart, EVO offers an elegant solution for the diverse biking needs that come with living in an urban environment. EVO is designed with attachable and removable accessories to allow for the temporary customization necessary for an ever-changing lifestyle. The Transportation jury raved that ”(EVO) really could be the bike for just about anyone in an urban environment.“

Festivine Wine

Festivine Wine - 2015 Packaging Student Winner

Festivine Wine cleverly succeeds in answering a question no one had thought to ask before- can wine bottles be interactive? By developing a relationship between people and product, Festivine Wine adds a uniquely fun element to an already enjoyable experience. The Packaging jury also loved it, calling Festivine Wine: "Delightful, easy, light. A beautiful product.”

Society of Grownups

Society of Grownups - 2015 Service Design Professional Runner Up and 2015 Strategy & Research Professional Winner

Society of Grownups approaches the unpleasant topic of transitioning into adulthood with creativity and pragmatism. Addressing an unheralded, but very real, cultural problem, Society of Grownups aims to make the daunting process of leaving youth behind considerably more graceful. The Service Design jury particularly praised the fact that: “Every touch point was considered and designed with the stakeholders in mind.”
