Brand Refresh · 2021 Brand 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 Before · 2021
Original serum packaging — handmade, light blue labels
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 After · 2022
Refreshed facial serum on a stone — deep teal label with coral and sage botanical illustrations
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.
The logo, refreshed

A handwritten mark gave way to a polished identity.

A casual, hand-lettered name on a homemade-looking label became a refined leaf-and-sun emblem with proper typography — the kind of brand mark that earns shelf space.

Why a brand refresh matters

Better branding sells more product.

The original serum was a quality product. But the packaging told a different story.

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.

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

05

Full Shopify website

Built the entire e-commerce site end-to-end on Shopify — product pages, checkout, brand storytelling, mobile-optimized. The whole online store, ready to sell.

The full storefront

An entire Shopify site, built end to end.

Brand work doesn't stop at the bottle. We built the full e-commerce experience — every page, every product, every line of copy, every checkout flow — and shipped it on Shopify.
