Bonne Mamma's Chocolate Packaging
Bonne Mamma's is an artisanal chocolate brand using high-quality ingredients. My packaging design is feminine, and has some eccentric details which reflect the care put into the small batches. The pattern is inspired by the ornate wrought iron gates in New Orleans, and the script in the name and ampersand were modified to give it more of a hand-lettered feel.
Genki Sushi Re-brand
Genki Sushi is a chain of express service conveyor belt sushi restaurants with locations in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuwait, and the United States. We created a new brand identity with this brand promise in mind: "We [Genki] are innovative, exciting and approachable; crafting a unique sushi experience in a fun and inviting atmosphere." Our concept makes use of bright and colorful graphics to make Genki approachable and fun. The origami inspired logo and graphics reflect innovation as well as tradition, while the modern typography attracts a young and hip clientele.
Bunky is an easy-to-use animal mashup app with cute, funny characters. It is targeted to very young kids, and has a lockout feature which keeps them out of their parent's phone.
It can be monetized with add-on packs of more characters, as illustrated in the video.
Fun Fact: The Bunky character is a mix of a bunny and a monkey, and I first doodled him years ago.
