Charm & Accessories Design Collaborated on a small team to design and develop a new line of bags and accessories for Milk Studios. Created for the studio’s creative community and inspired by the design language of Milk Studios and the Milk Equipment Room. Helped conceptualize three cohesive collections, establishing brand-defining design codes. Contributed to every stage of development, including: silhouette sketching, tech pack creation, sample comments and construction, color and material development, and custom hardware design.


A narrative-driven, studio-inspired silhouette, the Sandbag is a signature silhouette inspired by the sandbags used throughout Milk Studios. Sparked by their unexpected sculptural form, the design reimagines a utilitarian object as a compact, functional, and customizable bag.

Available in multiple sizes, it features a magnetic flap closure, zippered compartment, and a modular strap system for personalization. Crafted from double-faced recycled canvas with a TPU-coated backing, it balances texture, durability, and a refined finish. Rooted in the studio’s creative environment, the Sandbag blends everyday utility with thoughtful design.
