Faunie Factory
The Faunie factory allows kids the chance to recycle plastic materials. In exchange, they get the chance to customize their own Fauntastic Faunie Friend, free of charge!
Problem:
Concept
Fashion Dolls are not only expensive but also wasteful due to the amount of plastic used in creating the dolls accessories and packaging
My product will assist the use to have a "DIY" experience creating their own fashion dolls or figurines, using recycled materials

Mock Up
My first mock was created from cardboard and clay. I wanted the doll molds to be displayed inside the machine. I also
wanted a steampunk
factory aesthetic.

Doll Development
These are the initial sketches, I was going for something simple and easy to mold
My first 3D Models. Each came with a prop
or accessory.
I redesigned them to more suit my steampunk aesthetic

Model Version One
Animation
User inserts plastic materials into the machine this allows the plastic to be brought to life rather them wasting away in our oceans
The plastic is melted down and poured into molds this process is visible to the users and allows them to feel that they are apart of the process
The user is allowed to customize their own Faunie by choosing from a variety of colors and accessories. They are incentivized to recycle by receiving the dolls at a discount, if they give enough plastic
