Different design paths. Same destination. 🗺️
My journey into freelancing wasn’t linear - nonprofit work, agency life, then eventually freelance. Each stage shaped how I think about brand strategy today.
This piece is a quick tour of just some of my bottle packaging designs. Different identities, different strategies, but all built with the same objective: standing out on the shelf.
A little visual reminder that there’s rarely just one path in design.

This is really cool
Nice
love these
Keep it up Monserrat!
That packaging is so eye-catching! The bold starburst and typography combo really pops. Love the whole vibe.
that bold starburst + the red and blue against the bottle is such a strong combo 🔥 "all roads lead to home" tagline is so good. this packaging has real shelf presence!
Different paths, stronger perspective.

Never thought this milestone would feel reachable, honestly.
Yet here I am, just a couple dollars away from the 50K club.
This week so far:
✅ 2 project kickoffs and approvals
✅ A past client coming back for a more complex packaging phase
✅ One project already locked for May
🚧 In talks to lock another one 🤞
For the first time in 6 years of freelancing, I’m booking work ahead 🤯 wtf
Still processing it. Still a bit in disbelief.
Contra really did make a difference on productivity!
Currently working on a brand Identity project for an Architecture studio named Hexa, and I am experimenting with multiple directions, Direction 1 uses a pattern that is inspired from the logo design, and Option 2 does not. Curious to see which one would you choose and why! :)

Definitely option 1! the pattern reminds me of a pattern for wooden doors that looks very nice.
Branding Project: Oyu Diet Energy Drink
For this project, I created a bold and modern visual identity for Oyu Diet Energy Drink. The goal was to design packaging and promotional visuals that feel energetic, premium, and targeted toward fitness-focused consumers.
I used a minimal black and silver can design to create a sleek and powerful look while keeping the branding clean and easy to recognize. The large typography helps the product stand out instantly, both on shelves and in advertisements.
The project included:
• Can Packaging Design
• Product Mockup Design
• Billboard Advertisement Design
• Outdoor Advertising Visuals
• Brand Presentation Mockups
Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop
So great!
