Ultimately, senior management was convinced of my design choices based on the combination of data-driven evidence, strategic thinking, and alignment with the brand's goals.

In my previous position, I had the opportunity to present my packaging designs to senior management on multiple occasions. One notable project involved designing packaging for a high-end consumer electronics product. I first used CAD software to create detailed 3D models of the packaging design, emphasizing its structural integrity and functionality. To convince senior management of my design choices, I conducted a thorough competitive analysis of similar products in the market and identified areas for improvement. During the presentation, I showcased the innovative features of the packaging, such as convenient opening mechanisms and protective padding. I also provided cost analysis, demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of the materials and production processes chosen. Additionally, I emphasized how the design aligned with the brand's image and target customer base, showcasing its sleek and modern aesthetic. By presenting a well-researched, data-supported, and visually appealing package design, I was able to successfully convince senior management to approve my choices.
