Maude Male Category

Led the exploration and product design for Maude’s male category.
        The men’s category is often loud and lacks introspection, whereas intimate moments with yourself are typically the opposite. 
        We aimed to elevate the experience of men's sexual health products through thoughtful design and a clear articulation of our core message: intimacy is an introspective affair.
