A foundational OSU industrial design project, the Winter Market tasks groups of third-year students with research, design, production, and sale of a small batch product.
Focus is given to addressing sustainability and design of a home good.

Two product proposals were presented to a panel of judges, who voted on the concept we were to produce.

Tee Tote

Tee Tote, our idea for a reversible tote bag made of reused t-shirts, won the vote
Market analysis chart for tote bags. We identified our goal to be a $30-40 price point, but to offer a very meaningful experience in our product.
We were able to produce 10 Tee Totes in 3 weeks and priced them at $35.00 each. Alongside our classmates on OSU's oval, on a cold and wet day, we put on the Winter Market. Some had been reserved for purchase before the event, but our totes sold out after only an hour.
This project was completed on December 8, 2021.
