About

I’m Wilhelmien du Toit, a graphic designer with 16 years of industry experience specialising in branding and packaging design. I enjoy creating clear, compelling visual identities and packaging systems—from early concept development through to polished, print-ready artwork—while staying highly collaborative and detail-driven throughout the process.

I’ve worked across a wide range of clients, from fast-moving start-ups to large corporate teams, and I’m comfortable managing projects end to end. My background includes brand identity and rollouts, logo and corporate identity design, pitch and presentation design, concept trend boards, and art direction for product photography, always with a strong focus on meeting retail and production requirements.

The concept explores the idea of bringing the letter ‘h’ to life through the silhouette of a chair. Inspired by the world of event planning, the design subtly combines form and function to create a distinctive visual identity. A simple yet thoughtful approach that connects the idea of gathering, hosting and creating memorable experiences.

The inspiration for the logo was the quiver tree, a tree that is indigenous to the Namaqua area of South Africa. The client farms with wool and wanted an emblem and logo that depicts the area and the tough terrain that their sheep are farmed.

My idea was to depict the softness of the tissues by using a whimsical illustration style with layering transparency. The soft gradient and clouds give the packaging a light and 'airy' feeling.
