Project Overview

Miami Sun is a comprehensive eyewear brand project that explores the intersection of style, function, and quality. The project focuses on creating sunglasses that fit seamlessly into their environment, reflecting the versatility and refinement of modern eyewear.

Through extensive user research and demographic analysis, I developed three distinct product lines targeting specific user groups: beach goers, high rollers, and urban professionals. Each design balances aesthetic appeal with practical functionality.
