Overview
What this challenge is about.
Sustainable Packaging for a D2C Cosmetics Brand. Advanced challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn a blockchain-verified cre...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How might we redesign Glowly's packaging to be fully sustainable while preserving the luxury brand experience and keeping costs neutral?
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply design thinking to a complex, multi-stakeholder problem
- Balance sustainability, cost, and brand identity in design decisions
