Problem
Buying toys for children is like an endless pit of a money-sucking, long-term project. Children also often have a short attention span, quickly getting bored of new toys and crying for something better, causing a lot of unnecessary trash to end up in landfills. Additionally, parents can't resist buying them new toys to get back some 'alone time' while their children play with toys.

I had the opportunity to collaborate with another designer during this time, and it was a valuable learning experience. We both had different work styles and occasionally had opposing ideas. However, these differences actually contributed to creating a better solution in the end. By challenging and building off each other's suggestions, we pushed ourselves to do better.
