PROJECT 1

Bblonde Charcoal Kit

Bblonde is the UK’s number one blonding brand, offering hair bleaching kits & aftercare products. The brief for this project was to develop a new blonding kit to enter the brand’s core product range based on the new trend of charcoal bleaching. The pack design needed to have consistency on shelf with the existing range, with clear differentiation to similar competitor product offerings.

PROJECT 2

Colorbomb Hair Conditioner

Developed by Jerome Russell, Colorbomb is a range of colour depositing hair conditioning masks. The full range incorporates 4 tones designed for blondes, alongside 3 daring brights: Violet, Ruby and Berry Red.

Designed to compete with ranges like Glaze, Josh Wood and Bleach London, we knew we needed a pack with high contrast for on-shelf standout, and a fuss-free, confident and unapologetic attitude. I was involved with the development of Colorbomb from conception to launch preparation, from logo design to creating pitch decks for leading retailers.

Couture Range Repack 

The Couture Collection is Shearer Candles' flagship fragrance range, combining several forms of candles and scented diffusers in 15 different fragrances and colours.

Clan Denny Whisky Rebrand

Clan Denny is a range of rare and luxury Single Malt and Single Grain Scotch Whiskies. The existing brand style and pack designs were due for an update, and we wanted to develop something that was immediately different to many of the packaging styles in this very crowded marketplace.


The whimsical and unique pack illustration depicts a whisky’s journey from barley to still, with the elements and time playing a crucial factor in the resulting spirit.

PROJECT 8

Glaswegin Gin Refill Pouches

Glaswegin wanted to design gin refill packs that were more sustainable and conveniently recyclable than their predecessors. The pouch pack design needed to look consistent with the existing iconic glass bottle; using a soft-touch finish gave the pouches a more premium appearance. The pouch material is classed as flexible soft plastic and could therefore be recycled in most leading supermarket’s collection points.

 

SUPPLIER & FULFILMENT SOURCING
Sourced pouch supplier that could produce the recyclability spec & finish we desired, plus chose a filling partner

PRODUCT COSTING
Developing a cost of goods plan that meant the product was correctly priced for consumer, delivered within budget and achieved the desired margin
