    paper LOVLEA Tea

    Food Packaging Design, Branding, 3D Modeling, and Visualization

    Each logo mark is composed of the tea’s actual ingredients rendered as delicate floral forms. This concept was inspired by the vibrant flower markets encountered on a recent trip to France.

    To ensure the packaging was both functional and production-ready, the structure was modeled in SolidWorks. High-fidelity mockups were rendered in KeyShot, creating realistic visualizations that bring the design to life and highlight its market-ready potential.
