    paper WILD CRAFT ONLINE STORE - brand identity I graphic design

    A concept store inspired by the desire for conscious living.

    I developed the full brand identity for this online store, establishing a clear visual and strategic foundation. The identity guided the website design, ensuring a cohesive and intuitive user experience. I extended the brand across social media, creating a consistent and recognisable presence. The communication style was further reinforced through tailored email templates that align with the brand’s tone and aesthetics. I also produced supporting print collateral, completing a unified and versatile brand system.
