    uniE621 Farmwell
    Farmwell wanted to bridge the best of nature and modern convenience by creating a refreshing, antioxidant-rich aronia berry canned beverage. Their goal was to warmly introduce health-conscious consumers to their humble harvest through a brand that feels both modern and comfortably familiar. Farmwell sought a look that embodied organic modernity with a handcrafted twist, showcasing nature-forward imagery that celebrates the environment. The proposed solution was a vibrant brand that boldly puts nature front and center, allowing the local wildlife of Upstate New York to intertwine seamlessly in a colorful kaleidoscope of flavor cues. This concept illustrates the symbiotic relationship between this unique berry and the region's diverse ecosystem, weaving them together into a lively and engaging tapestry of natural goodness. branding logo graphicdesigner illustrator designer…
    uniE621 Bad Hands Playing Cards
    I’ve always been fascinated by the morbid and grotesque. Listening to true-crime podcasts inspired a series of illustrations of legendarily perverse psychopaths and criminals. The illustrations mutated into playing cards and Bad Hands was summoned from the dark depths of my macabre imagination. logo graphicdesigner illustrator designer…
    uniE621 Wags & Wiggles Treats
    Wags & Wiggles wanted to introduce a new line of homeopathic treats with specific functionalities that reward your pets and their bodies from the inside. The brand is distinctive in its bright, energetic palette throughout their packaging. I delivered the same liveliness to their newest consumables. While ultimately settling on an alternative direction with their final design, I developed the project on my own. graphicdesigner designer…
    uniE621 Celo
    Celo’s founders are on a mission to keep college athletes and casual ballplayers from getting bogged down while they’re out on the field. Today’s protein bars are loaded with artificial fillers and cloying sweeteners, leading to crashes by the third inning and performance that falls flat. So they set out to make something better: a line of protein snacks made with clean, complete ingredients that actually support the body in motion. They also wanted the brand to evoke the golden age of sports, a time when things felt a little more straightforward, a little more honest just like their product. graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer…
    uniE621 Tomato Snob
    The founders of Tomato Snob were resolute in their mission: to ensure that their exquisite, meticulously cultivated heirloom tomatoes would only be entrusted to the most discerning of hands. This is not a product for the pedestrian palate, but rather a rarefied indulgence reserved for those with an appreciation for nuance, restraint, and precision, the kind of connoisseur who wields a blade as refined as their taste. At the heart of this concept lies an unspoken covenant; a cultivated code of conduct, a suite of house rules and rituals, dictating the correct treatment of these tomatoes. It is not merely etiquette, but a philosophy. Tomato Snob expects you not only to observe these rules but to uphold and propagate them. After all, if one does not insist on standards, what, precisely, separates the epicure from the everyman? graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer…
    uniE621 Crunch Ice Cream
    Crunch bars ice cream is a summer time classic but needed a slight facelift to stand out amongst other candy bar to dairy treat competitors. The client initially wanted to explore bold creative options, but amendments and compromises simplified a concept to a modernized iteration of their original design. graphicdesigner designer packaging…
    uniE621 Nestlé Classics
    Nestle ice cream, a beloved choice for poolside treats for five decades, continues to charm with its range of renowned flavors. Recent updates to their packaging ensure a timeless appeal while embracing a hint of modernity, setting the tone for years to come. The previous packaging design emphasized summer feelings featuring poolside imagery on every flavor. However, it suffered from inconsistencies such as varied callouts, separate logos for each flavor, and fluctuating sizes of the SOI banner. These discrepancies compromised the overall coherence of the brand. Despite these shortcomings, the friendly and classic aesthetic resonated well with consumers looking for reliable products at budget-friendly prices. After conducting consumer testing trials and engaging in various discussions, the decision was made to forego the name "Ice Cream Truck Classic" in favor of a more straightforward approach - "Nestle Classics." This shift involved transitioning to an updated version of the initial packaging design to avoid unsettling consumers accustomed to the familiar blue hues and the welcoming simplicity from the previous branding. designer…
