The Weight of a Small Thing: A Saffron Brand Story for Pinterest
An independent creative concept for a six-generation saffron farm in La Mancha (Azafranes Manchegos). Not commissioned by the brand.
Saffron is not just an expensive spice you take out for special occasions. It is a tiny amount of product with its own territory, a long path from flower to thread, and the power to change the character of a dish.
Strategy: make saffron less of a special occasion, and more of a thing people know what to do with.
Problem → Insight → Idea:
Problem: saffron is admired but rarely used. The jar waits in the cupboard for a special day.
Insight: the brand already has everything to answer "how?": threads and ground saffron, dosage and cooking advice, recipes, and the KARKOM line with DOP Azafrán de La Mancha.
Idea: a Pinterest story in two acts. Act one, origin: the field, the flower, three threads. Act two, use: an ordinary day, the jar on the shelf, the family recipe, how much you actually need, the good plates on the table.
This is a strategic direction, not a repositioning. A full brand decision would need the brand's commercial goals and audience data.
8 pins, one mood, one story. I create story-led Pinterest series for small natural and food brands.

the project is almost finished, and i should be wrapping everything up next week.
it’s been a fun one to work on, especially seeing how the initial concept has evolved into a complete visual identity.
excited to share the final result soon :)
A little behind-the-scenes look at a brand identity coming together.
I'm currently working on a new identity for a coworking space in Austin, TX, with a vintage-inspired direction, warm colors, and a logo that brings a bit of nostalgia into a modern setting.
Carrying the vintage idea onto the coasters and the dot pattern gives the identity somewhere to live besides the logo.
A new day, a new design to share! 📸
This time it is a photography challenge app that brings creativity and competition together through contests, voting, and gamification. What do you think of this one? ✨
