In Graduate School, one of the buzzwords professors love to discuss is "Design Thinking." Design Thinking is an iterative process in which we seek to understand the user, challenge assumptions, and redefine problems to identify alternative strategies and solutions that might not be instantly apparent with our initial level of understanding (Dam and Siang). Design Thinking enables a company to understand consumer needs to serve their audience better. For this project, I contacted different fashion and lifestyle companies to learn how the organizations apply Design Thinking to their market offerings. I had the opportunity to talk with Peppermayo to learn more about their organization.

3. What are the quintessential Peppermayo products customers should buy?
I would definitely say the Audrey dress, as it’s one of our bestsellers and fits perfectly on every figure! My personal favourites would be the Beverly Tie Crop top, as it’s cut outs are really what makes the piece, and also the Betty Halter Neck Top and you can really mix and match this crop with any sort of outfit for any occasion

Pair this with our Russo Flare pants for the full vibe, or give the look a modern twist with a linen mini skirt." Price is $45. You can order this top at https://us.peppermayo.com/products/beverly-tie-crop-choc-brown?variant=39691309842627 )
4. What is the future of the company?
.
We recently worked with the National Breast Cancer Foundation in releasing our own seperate collection collaborating with them, with 50% of proceeds going towards them. With the amazing reception this collection got, we are really aiming to do more collars like this, since it’s such a great cause to support! We are also looking at working with more charities and supporting the visions they promote.
