Brief in Hand, Pens Moving
Bold, Not Aggressive:
. Sketched in the first client meeting - faster to react to a drawn idea than a written brief.
. Client wanted adventure without edge - the arts and crafts movement gave us the visual language: layered, illustrative, regional.
Color Owns the Shelf
Color As Identity:
. Illustrated elements and typography structured around the bag’s panel geometry - hierarchy designed for a shelf, not a screen..
. Composed layout systems to establish hierarchy with vibrant colors, much of their style.
. Integrated graphic decisions with print and production constraints.
Interior Elements
into Design Direction
Pulled From the Room:
. Walked the space before the design — pulled color, texture, and spatial references directly from the environment the bag would live in.
. Aligned the visual language with the physical cafe so the packaging felt native to the space, not imported.
Scaling for Production
1,000 Units. One Identity:
. Transformed a commodity kraft format into a branded system with a distinct visual identity.
. Delivered production-ready files supporting a 1,000+ unit run across retail and cafe environments.
