1. Overview & Disciplines Kitchen Adventures is a 12-month subscription line for ages 7+ that features culinary adventures from different cultures and countries around the world by Little Passports in collaboration with America’s Test Kitchen Kids. I was responsible for the creative direction, conceptualization, and the illustrations on all printed materials with the exception of the activities and activity instructions.
2. Art Direction & ConceptThis sub-line is the first to feature a brand collaboration in the Little Passports product offerings. Because of this, there was no pre-existing structure or guideline on how to handle different elements from logo treatments to general design language and illustration styles. I began the process of exploring the creative direction of this product line with a number of mood boards to present to the stakeholders from both Little Passports and ATK Kids. 
3. Design & ExecutionI worked with cultural researchers on the history, art, and design for all of the country-specific design elements like patterns, color palettes, typography, container shapes, and illustrated assets of all 12 cultures featured.

I worked directly with the content team from ATK Kids to make sure everything not only looked and felt faithful to the respective cultures, but also so that ATK Kid’s brand voice came through as well.
4. Final ComponentsEach kit includes unique packaging, one flavor journal, 3-6 recipes, a hands-on activity and instructions, a shopping list, and one cooking tool that is required for one of the recipes.
5. Challenges and Takeaways There were many challenges with this project, but the most difficult was balancing all of the kits I was working on at once. As the sole graphic designer, I was juggling anywhere from 3-6 kits—all at different stages of development, design, proofing, and sampling under extremely packed timelines.

I prioritized templatizing each component and determining what elements I could modify in order to make it possible to meet the tightly packed schedules.
