Steam Mates
PACKAGING, BRAND IDENTITY | ROLE: DESIGNER
STEAM—which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics—builds on young children’s natural curiosity and instinct to explore, especially during the formative years from birth to age five. Research shows that hands-on experiences during this critical period enable children to investigate their interests, form ideas, and apply their understanding to real-world situations.
STEAM Mates is a conceptual brand of toys and picture books I designed and illustrated to introduce girls to each of the five STEAM disciplines at an early age, helping them build confidence in their abilities. Each toy is thoughtfully created to encourage exploration and foster a deeper understanding of these fields.
