The process
1
DISCOVERY & STRATEGY
To ensure we’re a great fit, I offer a free discovery call to answer your questions and discuss your vision. Afterward, I’ll provide a detailed proposal and project plan. Once booked, you’ll complete my Packaging Discovery Workbook, which helps us define your packaging goals and strategies.
2
Creative Direction
Using the insights gathered, I’ll craft a creative direction tailored to your brand, audience, and packaging objectives. You’ll receive a clear proposal for the look and feel of your packaging. Once approved, we’ll proceed to the design phase.
3
Design & Refinement
This is where the magic happens! I’ll create a concept that aligns with your goals. After presenting the concept, you’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback, and I’ll refine the design with up to two rounds of revisions.

Production & Launch
With the final design approved, I’ll prepare all necessary files for production and work on any additional collateral included in your package. You’ll be ready to take your product to market with packaging that turns heads.

FAQs
Yes. I regularly work with brands to extend, refine, or update existing packaging ranges — whether that’s adding new SKUs, refreshing layouts, or ensuring consistency across an evolving product line.
If I’ve previously designed your packaging, this process is usually very straightforward. For existing packaging created elsewhere, I’ll first review the current designs and files to ensure any updates align with your brand and meet print requirements.
Packaging extensions and updates are scoped based on what’s needed and can be completed as a standalone project or through ongoing design support, depending on the scale of work.
No, this is done by the manufacturer or printer. They are the experts in constructing your packaging and protecting the product inside. Your manufacturer or printer will need to supply the final dieline for the artwork to be applied.
For a fee I can liaise with printers for quotes, dielines and press passes. I do not provide printing services but can recommend print companies I have worked with before, depending on your needs.
I stay up-to-date with the latest industry regulations and ensure all designs meet relevant compliance standards. I recommend legal or regulatory experts if needed, so you can feel confident your packaging is both beautiful and compliant.
Yes — mockups are designed to help you visualise your packaging and create polished content for early-stage marketing, presentations, and website launches. They’re ideal before professional photography is available and can also help guide future photoshoots.
