Yousr — Hot Sauce Brand Identity & Packaging Design
Turning bold flavor into a bold visual identity.
Yusr Hot Sauce is a food packaging project created to translate the intensity, heat, and character of the product into a striking visual experience.
The packaging combines a warm, distinctive color palette with bold typography and expressive graphic elements, creating an identity that immediately communicates the product's spicy and authentic character.
The visual direction was developed around the contrast between the rich red tones of the chili sauce and the warm cream of the label, creating a strong and recognizable presence across the product range.
From the label design to the final product presentation, every element was carefully considered to enhance the product's personality while maintaining clarity and brand consistency.
The final art direction brings the packaging to life through a dramatic food-focused environment, using rich textures, controlled lighting, and carefully composed ingredients to create an appetizing and memorable product experience.
A packaging identity designed to capture attention, communicate flavor, and give Yusr Hot Sauce a distinctive presence.
Sharing this amazing project I had the pleasure to work on ⚡️
LUMA is a matcha brand built around the ritual of taking a moment for yourself.
The identity combines a fresh, playful color palette with a clean and contemporary visual language, creating a brand that feels vibrant without losing its sense of calm.
The result is a modern matcha identity that brings together natural qualities with a bright, lifestyle-driven aesthetic.
Most of the matcha shelf is muted and ceremonial-looking, so a bright palette is exactly what makes this findable. The trade is that brightness tends to read as everyday latte rather than premium grade, and that shows up in what people expect to pay - was the daily-ritual end the deliberate target rather than the ceremonial one?
A brand and takeaway concept built around the entire meal: bold packaging, a clear digital menu and a street presence that carries the same identity from counter to customer.
The packaging study uses one carrier with separate pasta, bread and cheese modules. The visual system extends through a $5–$7 pasta menu, uniforms, bags and editorial campaign imagery.
