Getting your work in front of Walmart, Target, and TJ Maxx is no small thing — that's serious retail shelf presence! The DesignVAULT model sounds like a really efficient way to scale output. A packaging designer with strong system thinking would thrive here!
By the way, guys — haven’t said this in a while. I genuinely love following your work. I actually enjoy going through and studying your designs, all kinds of them. The variety itself gives me a lot of extra enjoyment. So if anyone wants a follower who’ll actually leave comments, like your stuff, and engage — follow me, I’ll be happy to follow back. I’m genuinely interested in what you’re doing. Being part of the design community on Contra is a real pleasure.
