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!
"Non-technical people are now shipping production code."
That's a line the CEO of Coinbase buried in his company-wide tweet yesterday, in the middle of announcing layoffs for a "AI-native" restructuring.
And as much as I don't want to add to the AI fear spiral... this one is worth paying attention to.
Companies are moving toward smaller, hyper-focused pods. One person who's deep in their role, plus AI woven into every part of how they work. Not someone who chats with GPT occasionally. Someone who actually problem-solves through it.
Which means the bar for what "valuable" looks like is shifting. Knowing tools like Claude Code might not be optional much longer, it might just be the baseline.
At the same time, my co-founder and I talked about this and we don't think it ends in fewer jobs. we think it ends in a billion small companies.
Hiring shifts from buying a person to buying their IP, their agents, their workflows.
The generalist who can get 80% of the way there across everything starts to beat the specialist who owns 100% of one thing. Specialists still win at the frontier, deep engineering, AI labs, but everywhere else, range is becoming the advantage.
So the people who come out of this okay aren't the ones who panic.
They're the ones who get curious and may start building something of their own.
That's probably always been true. It's just more urgent now.
