Homedics Heated Wellness Products
Revamping and simplifying a mismatched product line
Challenged with a patchwork array of heating products in their lineup, Homedics was looking to infuse uniformity into the collection while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
Design Identity
The existing products in the lineup lacked any cohesive design elements to tie them together. To address this, we developed a shareable design language. This included a printed pattern based on the company logo for low-pile fabrics, a heat-pressed faux quilting pattern for fleece and plush fabrics, and a muted neutral colour palette.
Shared tooling
To streamline costs and enhance consistency, we designed a single controller that could be shared across multiple products. The faceplate component is swapped to suit each item’s unique functions.
Project Management
With Homedics proposing a large number of SKUs for the new lineup, I managed the overall project to ensure consistency in the final deliverables. I personally designed most of the products and supervised the remaining ones. I prepared final CMFG assets and advised on samples from the factory before final production.
Results
Homedics was able to launch over 16 new and updated product SKUs with consistent design elements to tie them together as a cohesive collection. Shared materials and controller tooling helped to reduce cost.
