As a Design Manager at Pepsico FritoLay, I had the opportunity to support a truly cross-functional team and to explore consumer experience, as well as champion design across the organization. The design team at Frito Lay works with marketing, innovation, insights, and R&D, as well as the culinary flavor kitchen to research and create innovative new products and holistic brand narratives. Design’s goal is to influence new ways of engaging consumers with brand, product, distribution, packaging and marketing innovation—as well as leverage design thinking—in pursuit of smart snacking, healthy choices and good fun.
