Case Study · Brand Refresh · 2021 OLANANI logo

From craft serum to retail-ready beauty brand.

A full brand refresh for a small handcrafted skincare line — new identity, product naming, packaging design, and visual system. The product was good. The packaging was hiding it.

The transformation

Same product. Completely different brand.

Before Chillax · 2021
Original Chillax serum packaging — handmade, light blue labels
Chillax Lotus Tremella Serum
Handcrafted product, homemade-looking packaging. Light blue labels, cramped copy, no clear visual hierarchy. The bottles looked exactly like what they were — small-batch and well-intentioned, but not retail-ready.
After OLANANI
Refreshed OLANANI Trem Glow Facial Serum on a stone — deep teal label with coral and sage botanical illustrations
OLANANI Trem Glow Facial Serum
New umbrella brand, new product name, new identity system. Deep teal palette with coral and sage botanical accents. Premium product photography. The same serum now looks like something you'd find on a high-end shelf.
Why a brand refresh matters

Better branding sells more product.

The original Chillax serum was a quality product made by hand. But the packaging told a different story — the label looked homemade, the typography was busy, and nothing on the bottle signaled "this is worth paying for."

A brand refresh isn't a fresh coat of paint. It's a rewrite of the story a customer tells themselves before they even open the bottle. Identity, naming, packaging, and photography work together to signal quality, build trust, and give the product visual permission to be priced like a premium item.

No project is too small.

That's the work I love. Taking something that's already good and giving it the visual credibility to actually sell.

What I delivered

A full brand system.

01

Brand identity

New logomark, wordmark, and visual system — built around natural botanicals and a calming, premium palette.

02

Product naming

Renamed the product line under the new umbrella — clearer, more descriptive, and easier to extend to future SKUs.

03

Packaging design

Bottle labels and product packaging redesigned end-to-end. Cleaner typography, stronger hierarchy, retail-shelf-ready.

04

Photography direction

Art-directed the product photography — neutral backgrounds, natural materials, soft lighting. The kind of imagery a buyer expects from a premium brand.
