Vessel’s Alegorie

Small California based distillery needed a new, old label for their historic brand of rum. I took Vessel’s Alegorie from a modern 90s brand back to the roots with a focus on the tale of how it all started. Bringing to life the rich and storied past with a custom carved lino block stamp modified for each level of rum, Gold, Spiced and Aged.

Back Label - Spiced Rum

Front Label - Gold Rum

Product Shot - Aged Rum

 

MIX/

MIX event was created to bring together artists and designers to help liven up an unloved part of San Francisco and create a platform for local artists to show their goods. I co-created the idea with AIGA SF and designed the brand under their sponsorship.

Posters promoting the event were featured in 16 BART stations around the Bay Area

Tickets to gain entry into the event also acted as a golden ticket and was heavily instagrammed

 

wagga

An Australian beauty company wanted a refresh on their product line up. With an emphasis on clean and cool I created this deep blue and warm white refresh and also simplified their logo. Product shots and promo text created by me.

Nougatine Patisserie

In house designer for a well established pastry shop needing an online presence and a modern look. I created an entire cohesive concept and brand image with the existing name, using the triangle meaning sugar in recipe shorthand. Designed and laid out the website and mobile site. Setup social media and connected to the site. Created multiple posts and templates. Including product shots and website photography. Designed their first packaging for in store and national sales.

B.A.R.T.

Created a brand update and improved UI experience for the Bay Area Rapid Transit system in San Francisco, California, USA. This was my entry for their contest. They never chose a winner and the design has gone unchanged since it’s 1972 creation.

 

Menambah

Conceptualized and mocked a game design, brand and package with an accompanying app for a marketing firm. Product shots and dieline included. Fun but calming colors were chosen to create a sense of play without a stressful environment.

off the grid

Food truck market alliance in San Francisco. Food is a celebration and I wanted that to come through in the design to bring all the individual trucks together to create a night market similar to those in Asia where everyone gathers and eats together. Bright colours were used to create the feeling of energy.
