YETI Family

Camping product line designed for family lifestyle.


While at RISD, I was in a Business Innovation Class. In 2 weeks, I worked collaboratively with 3 other students to identify YETI's brand essence and find opportunities for growth. Our proposed camping product line is designed to expand YETI by 20% by integrating the family market in to YETI's business model.
