Takeout Transformer

This project was an exercise in creativity! I was tasked with creating a paper takeout box that could undergo two distinct use cases after undergoing a manual transformation. My final product was called the "Bouquet Box," and it changed from a small, portable gift box into a paper flower keepsake.

My prototyping process involved several rounds of sketching ideation, initial paper prototyping, and iterative rounds of laser cutting. The box template was designed in SolidWorks and cut using the perforation feature available within CorelDRAW. This project forced me to think outside the box (despite it being literally about creating a box), and it taught me to think of 3D-objects in terms of their 2D projections.
