Activity Sheets to Travel JournalThe original World Editions’ Activity Sheets are double-sided, accordian-style pamphlets with a total of 8 pages that feature pen-to-paper activites, 1 DIY activity, and 1 recipe. The team felt that the Activity Sheets were not enough to showcase and educate the reader about each culture. We expanded this component to become 22+ page booklets filled with fun facts, pen-to-paper activities, 1-2 stickering activities, 2 sticker sheets, 1 lift-the-flap map, 1 DIY activity, and 1 recipe from the featured country. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J2506208648218091739754399203984/250319_Brazil_5_7041_JC.jpg 1. Overview World Adventures, a 12-month subscription line for ages 6+ that features adventures around the world, is a revamp of the pre-existing World Editions by Little Passports. The team took all the aspects that the Little Passports audience loved about the original World Edition, added what we’ve learned through play-testing, surveys, and reviews, and redesigned it for the children of today. I was responsible for art direction, graphic design, and management of illustrators. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q2506215099173621524500566180496/6Months_Stacked_Suitcase.jpg 1.

Art Direction & ConceptThis sub-line is the first to feature a complete refresh in the Little Passports product offerings. I began developing the creative direction of this sub-line with a variety of mood boards that spanned from conservative refreshes to a complete reimagining of the sub-line. The team wanted the product line to feel fun, fresh, and bold while prioritizing cultural accuracy and sensitivity. The imagery and styles depicted are as faithful as possible to each country that the child “visits” throughout the sub-line. To this end, I prioritized finding and commissioning illustrators who have lived in—or currently live in—each country. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2506259784603359166665819882128/Artboard-2.jpg 4. Travel Journal CoversThe travel journal covers were some of my favorite pieces to figure out throughout this project. My goal was to reimagine them to be more impactful, eye-catching, and exciting than the original Activity Sheet designs. Something I wanted to keep from the original Activity Sheets was the consistency across each month’s covers. I landed on an arched window motif to evoke the sense of looking through a window or doorway into another country or location. It also allowed the illustrators to play and interact with it using lighting, perspective, or whatever else they felt was most successful with their personal illustration styles. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/F2507273215721543621565215081104/250319_Journal_7460_JC_full.gif 5. Travel Journal Interiors & Stickers The interiors of each travel journal vary widely in the pen-to-paper activities, paper engineering features (like pull tabs and spinners or dials), and overall specs and requirements featured. This new format opened up novel possibilities for the Sticker Sheets. Playtesters expressed that they weren’t entirely sure what to do with the original sticker sheet, so we took that feedback and used it as an opportunity to give the new sticker sheets more purpose. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2657444001938241421570552038032/250319_LPBeginHome_7326_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2657493593390245931233315324560/250319_LPBeginHome_7339_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/T2657496821441331621888881263248/250319_LPBeginHome_7278_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/F2657497075120956123542635086480/250319_Egypt_7131_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2657497389969983973617262068368/250319_Italy_7102_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C2657497439167450418200636228240/250319_Flatlay_Italy_7445_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/I2657501067088607394658152546960/250319_Japan_7056_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J2657505162542492919284254573200/250319_Australia_7072_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C2657506701148522619250535760528/250319_Flatlay_Brazil_7365_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/W2703641925490796989844489175696/1763780719143.jpg 6. Challenges and Takeaways Working alongside and collaborating with many stakeholders while keeping everything visually cohesive was definitely challenging at first with all of the individual moving parts. However, that experience itself was enjoyable and taught me many valuable skills that I am eager to implement for all future projects. https://eura.design/kitchen-adventures-1 2026-03-30T04:27:59+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z1104666580877950731163860281948/Untitled-16-1-dragged.jpg 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. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/F2503782989824536767154195202704/220831_KitchenAdventures_AllProducts_0457_JC_NewCover-R1.jpg 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 Kids brand voice came through as well. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2503785247632224412908474794640/221104_LittlePassports_KitchenAdventures_Greece_Contents_Knolled_1209_JC-R2.jpg 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. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2503795558513611389157188764304/220831_LittlePassports_KitchenAdventures_Product_2835_JC-R1.jpg 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. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/A2503796120973284940635127087760/220831_KitchenAdventures_Italy_0345_JC-R1.jpg 1.

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. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2503902808510845234996408943248/Artboard-12.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q2503926921817997227016638104208/Artboard-12.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/R2503935590570226761641067217552/221104_LittlePassports_KitchenAdventures_China_Content_Scattered_1293_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/B2503936616006283075081331999376/221104_LittlePassports_KitchenAdventures_France_Content_Scattered_1190_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Y2506137777745821931322883900048/el-paso-visdev.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q2506169192421852250173319086736/Ingredients-Panel-2.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/D2657371133019505643741052863120/KA-Puzzle-Mock-Up-1.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/B2657371133277760060772986585744/KA-Puzzle-Mock-Up-2.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/A2657371133296206804846696137360/KA-Puzzle-Mock-Up-3.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2686223290738658552334072087184/image.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J2686226960773732249070494745232/sketch-2.jpg https://eura.design/homer-aks 2025-11-20T09:47:09+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z1104666580877950731163860281948/Untitled-16-1-dragged.jpg 1.

Research to ConceptThe team and I began the design process with gathering market research, insights, and data; setting the product timelines; and identifying the learning goals. Each kit consisted of activities, different play patterns, and learning tools for different learning goals at the target age range. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/M2503626035333650727960079434384/IMG_1677.jpg 3. Prototypes to ExecutionWe created concept art, prototypes, and drafts of each child-facing component and parent-facing material while refining tech packs and pricing. I worked with the in-house illustrators while designing the printed material to execute production-ready artwork adhering to the schedule. Pre-production sampling and safety testing also played a big role in finalizing artwork and figuring out what was and what wasn’t working with the manufacturing constraints at hand. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/T2503664220555051908574663344784/230718_LittlePassports_0492_JC.jpg 4. Final ComponentsEach kit includes unique packaging and packaging inserts, instructions for the parent, one pen-to-paper activity-filled workbook, one pretend play item, one embroidered sticker patch, and one bigger or two smaller hands-on activities. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q2506037895654872286184222425744/m6-visdev.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C2506037895617978798036803322512/m6-visdev-2.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/W2506037895562638565815674667664/230823_LittlePassports_2229_JC.jpg 5. Challenges and Takeaways This project was incredibly fun and I learned a lot not only about child development and early learning, but also the more technical aspects of QA, safety guidelines, and materials in the young children’s product industry. Something that is more challenging about designing for a younger age group is carefully figuring out how to simplify activities and products but keep them as engaging as possible in a multitude of ways. This could range from simply how something looks and functions to what value the play pattern gives for the child’s entertainment and development while also considering the parent impact. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/W2506037895544191821741965116048/230718_LittlePassports_0517_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C2506037895525745077668255564432/230718_LittlePassports_0501_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2657487897921119685261834781328/230823_LittlePassports_2203_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/R2657490634034434418231078224528/230823_LittlePassports_2186_JC.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2657491621414857707608538022544/m6-visdev-3.jpg https://eura.design/kam-li'l-dragon-1 2025-08-19T07:44:27+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z1104666580877950731163860281948/Untitled-16-1-dragged.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2502799488696185858591973376656/Desk3_Ergo_2_CC.png 5. The Swap to KAM Entirely switching manufacturers opened up a lot of opportunity to add and change things. The main design decision we had to sacrifice in this transition was the DSA profile for KAM, which is the new manufacturer’s alternative to DSA. KAM is slightly taller than DSA, and is a modified version of their KAT profile from the second row profile. The dye-sublimation process is much less restrictive, in both design and cost, than the injection mold process. We ultimately decided that this switch would be more worthwhile for numerous reasons, the main ones being that we would have much more creative freedom and flexibility for different keyboard layout compatibilities. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/E2502800444016167947862232466064/Desk-2-Whimsy-1.png 1. Beginnings & the DSA Profile Li’l Dragon is a passion project of a custom keycap set that takes inspiration from the exiled dragon-child of the anime series Miss Koboyashi’s Dragon Maid. This project originally started off as DSA Li’l Dragon, where I initially chose the DSA keycap profile. I felt that DSA was the most faithful to the original character inspiration because of its short height and rounder shape. Her hair color inspired the top-down cream to purple gradient; her dress, the pink accent color; and her hair beads, the dark blue-grey legends. All colors in this project were selected from the Pantone Uncoated Formula Guide. In order to emulate her character in a typeface, I decided to go with all lowercase legends and a rounded sans. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2502801165671242855453601235600/Desk-1-Evolv-CC.png 2. Challenges & Limitations of DSAThere are two main processes of printing legends on keycaps: dye-sublimation and injection molds (double-shot and triple-shot). The manufacturer, Signature Plastics (SP), utilizes double-shot injection molds which have many more limitations on printing and manufacturing than dye-sublimination. Some examples of their limitations are minimum line weight, negative spacing between shapes, and cost of production. In the injection molding process, every new key needs a new mold. We were heavily restricted in what we could do with the set purely because of the desire to have two custom fonts and the costs of the new molds. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/I2502818248758207660100323574416/Apartment-Okayu-CC.png 4. Market Research After preparing all of the files for production, creating initial renders, assembling proposed kits, and finalizing colors, we put out interest checks and surveys on multiple popular platforms in the mechanical keyboard community. Upon gathering feedback, we discovered that a majority of the audience wanted an option for text mods and icon mods in addition to the novelty mods. Users were also interested in more flexible kitting as well as collaborations with other makers in the community for more products surrounding the set. Because of all of these requests, we ultimately decided to switch from DSA with SP to KAM with Keyreative for manufacturing. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/D2502856688747591242717524853392/mods_icons.png 3. DSA KittingDue to the high costs of creating all of the new molds of every keycap for the doubleshot injection mold process, we were incredibly limited in what kits we could offer to the consumer. We decided to have two alphas kits (Latin and “Katakanna”), three novelty modifiers kits to accommodate for the three main distinctive keyboard layouts (60s-TKL-1800, Ergo, 40s-40s Ortho), a separate number pad kit, and a spacebars kit for further compatibility with keyboards that require specific sizes of spacebars. We as a group decided to limit all of the modifiers to be exclusively novelties to further focus on the faithfulness of the inspiration of the character herself. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2503490423190702392579606381200/Desk3_Ergo_1_CC.png 6. The Final Product LineThe vast number of new options in utilizing dye-sub allowed me to design a number of new things. During this process, I was able to modify the existing novelty mods and create new novelties to feel more cohesive without restriction, add options for both blank alphas and mods, design completely new icon mods and text mods, add Hiragana alphas, and diversify the kitting to better suit both common and more niche layouts like ergonomic split, orthographic, and 40%. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/F2503525463057771564978544247440/Sunset-Cloud-01.jpg 7. Deskmat Designs and Process I wanted to create a line of deskmats to pair with the keycap set. This series of deskmat designs was inspired by a Post-It doodle of clouds I created. I then sketched out the rest of the painting on a 9” x 4” paper using POSCA paint pens. From there, I scanned the image, painted it digitally, and formatted the file to the manufacturer’s production standards. There are five variations of the painted version, and two other minimal designs based off of existing novelty designs in the set. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/R2506053781179211825606853853840/DSCF2558.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2506053928255102325293108888208/DSCF2545.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/M2506053967343753017483648762512/L1001539-Edit-3.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/A2506054007262507192991118459536/DSCF2562.jpg https://eura.design/additional-licensed-work 2025-11-20T09:50:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z1104666580877950731163860281948/Untitled-16-1-dragged.jpg 1.
