A little recap of the final presentations for Sunsei☀️

What began as a class lab turned into a deeper look at what it means to build with intention , a brand rooted in transparency, purpose, and uncompromising standards.

Over the past few months, the students stepped into the story behind sunsei: hours of research, real conviction, and a mission to rethink what sunscreen can be.

Grateful to wrap this chapter at the BIG Center.
