Packaging design is ideal if your product is strong — but the packaging isn’t yet reflecting its quality, positioning, or potential.

Packaging design is about more than aesthetics — it’s about clarity, compliance, and shelf presence working together.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
This service typically includes:
Packaging strategy and positioning guidance
Label or package design aligned with your brand identity
Hierarchy, layout, and visual clarity for retail environments
Consideration of required packaging elements (ingredients, net weight, etc.)
Mockups to visualize your product on shelf or in hand
Print-ready packaging files prepared to vendor specifications
Every decision is made with real-world use in mind — from how your product is noticed to how it’s understood at a glance.
My Packaging Design Process
Packaging design carries a unique set of challenges — technical requirements, production constraints, and high visibility at the point of sale. Small decisions can have outsized impact.
My role is to help you navigate those details with confidence. I guide you through layout, hierarchy, and design choices that support both your brand and your product — while ensuring the final packaging feels clear, compliant, and ready for production.
Rather than guessing or overcomplicating the process, we focus on making smart, well-considered decisions that support clarity, shelf impact, and scalable growth.
Guidance where details matter.
-
Yes. I specialize in packaging design for food and beverage brands and understand the visual and practical considerations unique to these products.
-
Yes. Final packaging files are prepared according to printer or vendor specifications.
-
Yes. I can coordinate with your vendor to ensure files are prepared correctly and answer any production-related questions. I also work with a trusted network of online, local Chicago-based, and nationwide print partners to support your production needs. I’ll manage the process, gather quotes, and guide the project through completion, while payment is made directly to the printer.
-
I design layouts that account for required elements such as ingredient lists and net weight, though regulatory compliance itself remains the responsibility of the client.

Packaging design works best when aligned with a strong brand foundation, but I can work with existing brand assets when appropriate.
