PACKAGING DESIGN + CUSTOM ILLUSTRATION
A Refined Pour
We partnered with Downeast Cider House to create a refined, seasonal series exclusive to their Taproom. It features hand-painted ingredients, thoughtful color, and a crafted design system built to evolve.

PACKAGING DESIGN
Classic Recipe, New Twist
New formats! Line extensions! Smart packaging systems! Bringing the Lindt Classic Recipe brand to life across new products and formats was a sweet challenge, and exactly the kind of design puzzle we love to solve.

IN-STORE VISUALIZATIONS
Clean Simple Eats x Target
We partnered with this emerging wellness brand to create in-store renderings that brought their vision to life. The collaborative process led to visuals that helped their team confidently pitch to Target, and ultimately secure their first placement on shelf.

CUSTOM ILLUSTRATION
Take Me to the Moon
For Nalgene’s younger fans, we created a crew of astronauts living their best off-Earth lives. Surfing, slam dunking, ribbon dancing, and yes, kicking back on a flamingo floaty. Space never looked so fun.

BRAND DESIGN
Born to Stand Out
We created the full brand experience for Nanat. A baby blanket start-up with big dreams and even softer Pima cotton. From elegant branding and cozy packaging to artistic, one-of-a-kind prints, everything was designed to stand out in a sleepy category.
