The story at a glance
My role
Creative Director
Challenge
Balance two brand systems—Tile's utilitarian tech identity and Disney's character-driven world—without either feeling diminished.
Approach
The creative direction leaned into character personality rather than treating Disney as decoration, choosing moments and expressions for each character that matched how the product would actually be used and carried.
Outcome
The partnership gave Tile a credible entry point into a licensed, character-driven retail segment it hadn't competed in before.

Overview

A licensed product collection connecting Life360's Tile brand with Disney characters, taken from concept through packaging, photography, and retail rollout.

The Opportunity

Business Context

Life360's Tile brand had an opportunity to reach a new, younger audience through a licensed partnership with Disney.

Challenge

Balance two brand systems—Tile's utilitarian tech identity and Disney's character-driven world—without either feeling diminished.

Goals

Create a collection that felt authentically Disney while staying recognizably Tile, ready for both mass retail and e-commerce.

Creative Direction

The creative direction leaned into character personality rather than treating Disney as decoration, choosing moments and expressions for each character that matched how the product would actually be used and carried.

Photography

Photography paired lifestyle context with clean product-forward shots, giving retail and e-commerce different tools from the same shoot.

Packaging

Packaging followed Disney's brand guidelines closely while preserving Tile's product information hierarchy so the collection still read clearly as a Tile product.

Retail + Go-to-Market

The collection was built to sit alongside Tile's core line at retail, distinct enough to stand out but consistent enough to be recognizably part of the same family. Digital merchandising, lifecycle marketing, and social all launched together as one coordinated moment rather than a quiet SKU addition.

Results

The partnership gave Tile a credible entry point into a licensed, character-driven retail segment it hadn't competed in before.

Reflection

Working across two brand systems reinforced how much of licensed work is negotiation—protecting both brands' equity while still making something that feels genuinely new.
