Packaging design

Good packaging needs to tell a story and get your product to fly off the shelf. We work with you to create striking packaging that feels true to your brand and grabs attention for all the right reasons.

Brand and visual identity design

I help brands find themselves. From logos and colors to full identity systems, everything is built to be clear, flexible, and memorable.

  • A drawing of a smartphone with a skull on the screen and a stylus pen beside it.

    Illustration

    Illustration is where it all began. It started as sketchbooks full of comic book and video game characters. Today that foundation strengthens everything from branding to packaging to merch.

  • A black t-shirt with a logo of a stylized bone and teeth on it, alongside a green tumbler with a straw and an eye logo.

    Merch Design

    Years of creating custom merch for bands, brands, brews and weed means merch that lasts. No one wants to invest hundreds in a basic logo tee that only gets worn for yard work.

  • Abstract geometric design with green, white, and red shapes on a black background.

    Visual Identity

    Want a logo? Go deeper. You want a visual identity for your business that speaks to your customers. You want a brand that works hard for you. You want a mark that turns heads.

    Packaging Design

    The retail shelf is a battlefield for attention. Don’t let your hard work get lost in the wall of sameness. Stand out.

    Print & OOH

    Print lives! Tactile and real. It’s hard to beat the feel of a soft touch card stock or the look of a tasteful hit of holographic foil to catch those eyeballs.
