New packaging for a coffee roaster — HEATMAP 🔥
The concept is inspired by heat maps, where color represents temperature.
I connected this idea to the coffee roasting process.
Beautiful work
Thank You, Bella!!

Awesome design🔥
Thank You!! 🙌 🔥
Great concept! It would be amazing if the packaging reacted to the warmth of someone's hands once they touched it.
Love that idea! 😄 It would be amazing, although probably quite challenging to pull off in production
Looks like burned titanium and its very cool!
Thank Youuu!! 🔥
this is beautiful, i can only imagine the way it shines on a metallic surface!
Yeeeeah! Thank You!! 😍
The name truly comes alive through the packaging. Such a cohesive concept!
Yeee! Thank You Julissa🙌
Amazing 😍
Thank Youu!! 🔥
eally clever concept. Turning the roasting process into a visual heat map gives the packaging a strong story while keeping it instantly recognizable. 🔥
Thank you so much! Really glad the concept and the story behind it came through 🔥 Appreciate it!
Tying the color to roast temperature gives you a built-in product system: line the bags up light to dark and the gradient itself becomes the roast scale on shelf, no legend needed. The one thing I would guard is keeping the wordmark legible over the busiest part of the gradient.
Yeeeah!! Thank You!!
Such an interesting concept here. The contrast between the raw metallic finish and the vibrant heat map colors gives the whole design a very distinct feel.
Thank You Very Much!!
Looks good
Thank You Afnan!
Amazing work
Thank Youuu! 🙌
Thank you so much! ❤️ I’m so happy the concept came through - translating the roasting temperature into the color spectrum was one of my favorite parts of creating this packaging.
The heat map concept fits coffee roasting so well. Great example of turning process into visual storytelling.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Boyle’s Food Truck visual identity
The other day I started thinking of fictional brands from TV shows and If you ever watched Brooklyn Nine-Nine you must know Boyle!
The idea was simple:
What would Boyle’s food truck look like if it were a real Brooklyn food truck?
I approached it as a visual designer, building the identity around the character himself — enthusiastic, slightly chaotic, unapologetically passionate about food, and very Brooklyn.
I worked on the visual language across the truck, typography, colors, graphics and supporting touchpoints to make it feel like an actual food business with a mascot, rather than just a prop from a TV show.
The challenge was finding the balance between Brooklyn, food culture and Boyle's personality without making it feel like a generic New York food truck.
And honestly, fictional brands are some of my favorite design exercises.
There’s already a story, a personality and an audience.
The fun part is figuring out:
What does that look like?
