Chicken Tractor Development
Original, independent project designed and fabricated during my Sr. year studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology Toy Design program.

Exploration of form, style and features.
Design Spec.
Exploration of color and finish.
Bill of Materials.
Identification of all components to plan for fabrication.
Fabrication.
I constructed a looks like/works like model using wood pattern pieces formed using traditional hand tools. Styrene sheets were heated and vacuum formed over the wood pieces.
Market/Trend.
Chicken Tractor was inspired by a combination of trends that resulted in a unique mash-up of farm life style, egg hatching and mommy baby role play themes.
Packaging.
An open box concept with “Try Me.”
