The shelf is the
first taste.

I design packaging — illustration-led labels, structural cartons, and print-ready art that make a pack carry its story before a word is read. Client engagements are filed below as case files.

01 // The Practice

I design packaging. The craft is illustration-first: every label starts as a painting, then gets drawn to die-line and proofed as a finished pack. This page documents client engagements as case files — Pure Chocolate Jamaica is the featured file; further brand engagements are being prepared for release.

The Brief

Pure Chocolate makes bean-to-bar chocolate on the island. The engagement began with the carton art for their single-origin bars — and grew into the packaging for an entire pantry: cocoa tea, spiced hot chocolate, chocolate-covered snacks, and a Jamaican vanilla line. The brief never changed: make the pack carry the story before a word is read — an illustrated world for every product, painted and rendered onto the finished pack.
