Meet the ban.do Team!

To introduce our Collaboration with ban.do, we thought we'd introduce you to the faces behind ban.do!

Can you introduce us to the ban.do team a little bit? 

ban.do's comprised of a dedicated core team of 14 people alongside a network of creative contributors and merchant partners. When working with Chunks, the team members that collaborated on this collection were Alyssa Blackman (senior brand development manager), Daniela Jordan-Villaveces (creative director), and Sidney Howard (senior product designer).

Alyssa's an LA native who loves to cook or be out in nature surrounded by friends and dogs. You'll for sure notice her whenever she walks into a room, not just because she's so tall but also because she has an infectious personality that brings a smile to anyone's face. Her favorite color is lime green and she always wears gold jewelry.

Daniela is from Bogotá, Colombia, and has been living in North America for over 17 years now. She's obsessed with all things colorful and patterned. If you happen to sit next to her at a dinner party, you're in for some good conversation and a lot of funny remarks. Daniela and her husband have 2 cats and a dog and she wishes they could have more pets surrounding them.

Sidney was born and raised in Florida and after college, she lived in Brooklyn, NY working as a designer and illustrator. She loves living in sunny LA where you can find her roller skating in Venice or sketching with her Posca markers. She's the kind of person you want to be around because her personality is so chill and she irradiates positivity.
 

What inspired you to want to collab with Chunks? 

We've always been huge fans of Chunks and dreamt about combining our worlds! There are so many products we make but having the ability to join forces with Chunks meant we could work on something truly unique with a brand whose point of view we admire.

What was your favorite part of the design process and why? 

Getting to truly collaborate with Tiffany because most of the time we design on our own and then share the end results with everyone after but this was a fun back and forth of ideas and concepts.
