The physical experience a customer has with a product is an important extention of a brand — it blends the visual aesthetic with functionality and structural design to tell a story.

Packaging + Product

Design

Company: Kennedy International, Inc.

The direction was to create packaging for 2 different bottle sets that held the bottles together while showing use & features of the product. I designed removable labels for the larger bottles with gold accents so the customer can customize their bottles for bath or kitchen use while the solid color bottles are sold pre-labeled/ready-to-use.

Wool Dryer Balls

Company: Kennedy International, Inc.

Our customer was looking for decorative wool dryer balls as a more upscaled version of the original. The direction was to create Delft style designs and package it in a more giftable box. I worked with the factory to develop these designs and colors that would hold up in use. The box & dielines were built from scratch utilizing an acetate window "lid", inner support and an outer bellyband.

The objective was to design hand soaps to pair with the terrazzo hand creams and invoke the feeling of traveling in Italy. I created labels for the back of the bottles that subtly show the terrazzo design through the bottle. The double-sided label has a photograph reflecting the Italian city and name of the soap on the
reverse side.

Our customer wanted Spanish-themed luggage tags for their Latin American customers and destination travelers. My goal was to honor the authentic & vibrant Mexican culture with the traditional board game of Lotería, and make the iconic papel picados/fiesta flags into decorative and functional luggage tags.
