    paper Lomdogs

    Led brand strategy, visual identity, and creative direction; designed campaign visuals, social media templates,

    paper The Sustainable Life School

    Partnered with a small remote team to develop the identity concept and brand system elements: logo artwork

    life & sustainability” narrative. Delivered a documented system and handoll assets that TSLS adopted and

    paper Amazing Friends

    Amazing Friends Sweden is a nonprofit dog adoption organization connecting rescued dogs

    paper Genki Greens - Marketing Design Specialist
    • Marketing & communication design across print and digital
    • Design of ongoing social ads and print collateral
    • Bilingual asset adaptations (Dutch/English)
    • Photoshoot planning support (shot ideas, compositions)
    paper Branch and Vine Skincare - Packaging Systems Designer
    • Built a cohesive variant color system and light botanical illustrations to unify six SKUs while keeping each instantly recognizable.

    • Defined label hierarchy and copy structure; set typography standards for clarity across 5.5 oz, 8.0 oz, and a coordinated sample box.

    • Produced press-ready artwork, dielines, and finish specs, and delivered a printer handoff with master templates for consistent future runs.

    paper EDDY

    Eddy is a California-born lifestyle brand rooted in whimsy, wanderlust, and founder Megan Eddings Feely’s fashion background (ex Marine Layer, Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch). Megan approached me to fast-track Eddy’s branding ahead of launch.

    • I created the full visual identity, primary logo, icon, and brand pattern, designed to balance empowered femininity with versatility across digital and physical applications.

    • The identity has since grown with the brand: in 2025, Eddy opened its first flagship store in Russian Hill, San Francisco, where my logo design evolved into a bold LED signage centerpiece. Seeing the work scale from sketch to street level was a powerful reminder of design’s ability to grow with a brand.

    paper Pure Melt Chocolate

    Puremelt Chocolate Byron Bay makes Love Bites and drinking chocolate. What started as a logo refresh expanded into a 360° rebrand after focused discovery clarified users, the brand’s vision and mission, and its position in the category. Their snackable, fudgy bites and cozy drinking blends deserved a complete transformation.

    • Designed and codified the packaging system and variant rules for Love Bites and Drinking Chocolate with the Creative Director, creating a cohesive, scalable 12 SKU line.
    • Co-developed flavor-to-color mapping and built a reusable component library (label hierarchy).
    • Delivered press-ready dielines and pre-press files (barcodes, nutrition panels, bleed and sale zones).
    • Coordinated closure and board choices with the producer to balance cost, print quality, and assembly speed.
    • Produced sell-in and launch assets: ods, wholesale list, in-store posters, event signage (banners and A-frames), and social templates.
