GE Energy Smart® LED Bulb

Packaging + Prototyping + Launch Experience

The GE Energy Smart® LED bulb was a category-defining innovation, and its launch experience and packaging were designed to reflect that distinction. From concept to design, I worked closely with vendors to prototype and build the packaging, which was sent to under 1,000 environmental influencers. Rather than a simple unboxing, the goal was to create a memorable, personal experience that felt exclusive and earned.

The bulb appeared to float within the package, highlighting its unique silhouette. Extracting it became a tactile, puzzle-like interaction that encouraged discovery, while messaging was revealed gradually throughout the process to build anticipation and reinforce the product’s innovative nature.

By pairing a breakthrough product with a share-worthy design, the launch encouraged conversation and organic awareness, turning early recipients into advocates and extending the impact well beyond the package itself.
