LAmbs & Ivy: JUNGLE ADVENTURE

One of my favorite chapters from my time at Lambs & Ivy is the Jungle Adventure collection: a sweet and modern take on timeless nursery charm. I wanted to capture the spirit of curiosity and play through gentle textures and expressive linework, creating a unisex palette that feels both fresh and enduring. Subtle touches of gold and sage bring the story to life, adding just the right pop to this cozy, neutral world.

DESIGN DIRECTION

For nearly 6 years from 2019-2024, I provided creative direction for new seasonal collections and new product develoment, creating mood boards that blended market research, hands-on product experience, and insights from real parents. My process included trend forecasting, in-person shopping research, and translating lived moments with my babies into authentic, emotionally resonant design.

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

I turned sketches into samples, samples into keepsakes. Through hands-on prototyping and close collaboration with production partners, I helped bring dozens of new designs to market, from crib bedding and décor to developmental soft toys.

This collection is available at Lambs & Ivy. You can also pick up the swaddles and fitted crib sheet at Target. Of course it’s on Amazon too.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

A concept on the page is one thing, but turning a beautiful idea into a keepsake takes technical expertise and accuracy. I’m proud to have honed my skills in developing detailed spec packages that transform design intent into production-ready reality. I managed the full spec process, from development through turnover, while creating streamlined systems to improve accuracy and efficiency. Cross-functional collaboration between design, product development, and overseas partners was key to bringing each collection to life.

This collection, Jungle Adventure, is available at Lambs & Ivy.

FINAL PRODUCTS

And now the fun part: seeing the designs come to life and reading customer reviews. I’m so proud of the 5 star ratings me and my team earned. Knowing my designs helped make babies happy and comfortable is the best feeling ever!
