I liked how the simulation allowed me to express my creativity while learning about branding and product design. I enjoyed creating a moodboard and designing a tote bag that reflects Lumea’s playful, inclusive, and eco-friendly identity. It helped me understand how colours, customization, and creativity can make a brand stand out.

Reviews
I really loved how this simulation connected the entire creative process—from visual design to marketing execution. It was highly engaging to start with the brand guidelines and moodboard, sketch the physical product, and then transition into writing social media captions and designing an event flyer.
I really enjoyed this simulation because it gave me practical experience in branding, marketing, merchandising, and community building. I especially liked creating product concepts, developing social media campaigns, and connecting brand values with customer engagement. It was creative, interesting, and helped me understand how different parts of a brand work together.
