Brand and visual design that makes ideas clear, distinctive, and worth noticing.
From campaigns and publications to packaging, print, digital, and environmental design, I create visual systems that connect the strategy behind a brand with how people actually experience it.

Consumable Packaging & Retail System Concept
A conceptual packaging system created for EnerT, a plant powered energy tea designed to bring a sense of ritual, optimism, and daily momentum to the wellness category. The project explored how bold color, botanical storytelling, and ingredient driven design could transform a functional tea product into a memorable lifestyle experience.
The packaging was developed around a highly visible retail carton structure designed to communicate benefits quickly while creating strong shelf presence. A vibrant visual language inspired by citrus, botanicals, and natural energy was used to establish clear differentiation between flavor varieties while maintaining a cohesive brand system across the collection.
Beyond the packaging itself, the concept considered how the product would function within a broader retail environment. Color architecture, merchandising hierarchy, and flavor navigation were intentionally designed to support future countertop displays, seasonal assortments, and specialty retail presentations. The goal was to create a scalable system that could grow from a single SKU into a recognizable product family.
The result is a packaging concept that balances functionality with emotion, helping consumers quickly understand the product while creating a sense of curiosity, optimism, and approachability at shelf level.
This project reflects my approach to packaging as more than a container. It is a strategic communication tool that combines branding, storytelling, merchandising, and consumer psychology to create products that are easier to discover, understand, and remember.

A hospitality-focused creative direction project centered around menu design, food styling, and visual storytelling for the restaurant and winery experience. This work was developed to create a cohesive brand presentation across print collateral, plated food presentation, and photography, transforming everyday dining touchpoints into a more elevated, immersive guest experience.
The menu systems were designed with clarity, hierarchy, and atmosphere in mind, balancing readability with an editorial-inspired aesthetic that reflected the warmth and sophistication of the brand. Typography, spacing, iconography, and layout structure were intentionally crafted to guide the guest experience while reinforcing the overall visual identity of the space.
Food styling and photography direction focused on capturing the emotional side of hospitality — emphasizing texture, freshness, light, and environment to create imagery that felt aspirational yet approachable. Rather than simply documenting dishes, the creative direction positioned food and beverage as part of a broader lifestyle experience rooted in gathering, entertaining, and memorable moments.
