Alexis entered KUCD\u2019s MFA program to become a stronger designer, building upon her foundation in industrial design. She is drawn to 3D design, and is now adding graphic design to her skill set. Alexis is inspired by play and packaging design.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1969″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text]Paper is more than just a flat material: it\u2019s a blank slate for play. It\u2019s one of the most friendly and familiar materials, which makes it easy to manipulate and interact with. PLAYUM is inspired paper, play and sweets. Toys don\u2019t need to be elaborate to be fun. It only takes a minimal amount of materials to create a fun experience.<\/p>\n

PLAYUM\u2019s mission is to encourage play by adding an unexpected purpose to snack packaging. Toys are designed for kids (and adults who are kids at heart and stomach). PLAYUM\u2019s first product line is inspired by outer space, containing seven candy-filled toys.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”site-inner”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
