Agent Suds
Fall 2020
With my partner, Carol Demick, we created Agent Suds. Agent Suds is a product line that aims to benefit children as they develop their self-regulation skills. By using an exposure and response prevention technique, it will encourage them to be familiarized with certain triggers and help dissolve their anxiety and fear with the bathtub. The line consists of physical products such as toys/tools, a belt, and a book. Our brand focused on solely sustainable materials, leaving out plastic and creating our products with wood, cork, and 100% cotton. Agent Suds was awarded RISD's Design for Wellness, Alexander Graham Bell Award in June 2021.
