Overview

Project Summary

Dell commissioned a unique design project that combined Mayan cultural iconography with modern visual design language to create a one-of-a-kind collectible item — the Dell Yeti. The challenge was bridging two radically different visual worlds into something coherent and compelling.


The Challenge

The Business Need

Dell needed a distinctive, culturally-inspired design that would stand out as a collectible piece. The design needed to honor Mayan visual traditions while feeling fresh and modern — something that couldn't be mistaken for generic corporate swag.


Approach

The Solution

I researched Mayan iconography, symbols, and artistic conventions and synthesized them with a contemporary illustration approach. The result was an original design that wove authentic Mayan visual elements into the form and character of the Yeti concept — creating something genuinely unique.


Outcomes

The Results

1Unique Collectible Design
Cultural Depth
Brand Memorability

Dell received a one-of-a-kind design that became a standout collectible piece. The work demonstrated that culturally-grounded design can elevate corporate creative far above the expected.
