Brunch Junkie, Brand Strategy, Identity & Packaging Design
Every syrup on the shelf looked the same. Maple. Again. The client saw a gap nobody was filling and built Brunch Junkie to fill it, a small-batch artisan syrup brand from Denver, Colorado, made with real fruits and herbs.
The work covered everything from brand strategy and audience research to visual identity, custom fruit illustration, and a full packaging system across 3 SKUs. Print-ready, shelf-ready, and built to scale.

Ino is a Bulgarian family knitwear brand with 25+ years of craft behind it - but its old identity no longer reflected the warmth, quality and heritage at the heart of the brand.
For the redesign, I built the concept around family heritage and personal signature - creating a visual system that feels refined, human and timeless, while giving Ino a more recognizable presence across packaging, social media and brand touchpoints.
Good one here
Remote onboarding was being treated like a checklist problem. The real problem was that new hires had no sense of arrival — no moment where the company said: you're here, and here's what that means. Onbrd needed to be the brand that changed that.
Nice! I love the energy the logo has
We partnered with Gaia Naturelle, a Slovenian skincare brand, to design a brand and packaging system built from wood — a material almost no one in cosmetics uses.
The challenge was making it work as actual packaging, not as a gimmick. It had to feel genuinely natural up close, hold up across a full product range, and still earn attention from across a retail shelf.
The identity is built around a single typographic mark designed to survive any surface — printed on paper, burnt into wood, or stamped into handmade soap. That consistency became the spine of the system, letting the range feel like one family across very different materials and finishes.
The packaging itself is local wood, finished with custom laser-engraved grain patterns that give each piece its own character. Gold-foil labels carry product information and bring just enough contrast to keep the range legible at a distance. Every decision was about restraint — fewer elements, used with intent.
The result is a skincare brand that doesn't look like other skincare brands. Natural where it should be, deliberate everywhere else, and unmistakable on a shelf.
Amazing work!
