Guide Built Process
Interacting with the Eddie Bauer guides and athletes was a critical component to the design process. During multiple points in the design season I was able to work with the guides to have my designs and prototypes validated by the team. Through this process I was able to make proper adjustments based on the guide's needs. It was great to have first hand feedback during the creation process and to understand which pieces in their kit were working, and which could be improved.
