Food with Emotions

Food with Emotions is a series of soft good plushies with interchangeable expressions and accompanying illustrations. These illustrations represent one of the moods for each plushie. For example, the first prototype was an egg and from there, it was used to better research and design the other sewing patterns for each of the soft toys. The goal of the project was to give children and adults, who have trouble expressing themselves, a way to communicate their feelings with a comfort item to hold. A few inspirations for this project were interchangeable plushies octopi and Puff Pals soft goods.
