Yankee Candle's Special Collections line is a bi-annually released special line of 3-wick candles that stray from the typical Yankee Candle look and feel, and instead follow a more design-heavy, home-decor look fitting a specific theme. For Fall/Holiday 2024, me and another designer, Megan Sparks, were tasked to create designs for six collections -- Fall Classics, Fall New Seasonal Fragrance, Halloween, Holiday Classics, Holiday New Seasonal Fragrance, and Additional Holiday -- 24 SKUs altogether. Megan and I worked together to divide and conquer this monumental task. I was responsible for Fall Classics, Fall New Seasonal Fragrance, and Holiday Classics.

I worked very closely with Megan and our design manager to research trends, create moodboards, create several concepts per collection to present to brand marketing, and produce all 24 SKUs under a shortened timeline and rigorous review process.
