Kroger Holiday Apron
In collaboration with DDB Worldwide, we developed Kroger's 2022 Holiday campaign, introducing a innovative apron designed to alleviate cooking stress. The smart apron was equipped with advanced biometric sensors capable of detecting the user's pulse, body temperature, sweat levels, and signs of stress.
