The brand needed a label upgrade to better showcase their products in stores and to comply with packaging regulations. To make it easier for customers to identify the various flavors, I used a visually bold font that was highlighted with gold foil. In addition, I included a heat meter at the bottom of the label to convey this important information and organized the layout in a way that effectively communicates both marketing and mandatory information.")
Over
I don't just make products look good, I make them make sense.
My designs are human-made. I spend valuable time thinking and creating, no AI involved. Every decision I take supports the product and the people behind it. I believe good packaging should be clear and emotionally connected.
I work best with clients who care about their product and their users, and I value long-term collaborations built on trust and shared purpose.
