About

Hi, I’m Olly Cain with 8+ years’ experience as a Melbourne based senior designer specialising in FMCG packaging, brand systems and retail. I take work from concept through to print ready artwork, with clean layouts, strong hierarchy, and production accurate files.

Most recently at Principals I worked across FMCG and retail projects including the pet food brand 4Legs, building packaging led systems and rollout assets across multiple SKUs and formats.

I love this category too. I’ve got a cocker spaniel named Vinnie and a cat, so I care about pet brands feeling trustworthy, premium, and easy to shop. Please check out my folio at Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup
