An artisan rebrand, botanical packaging, and sweet materials

Working together since 2025

Expanded sales to local shops including Casting Whimsy, Food Shed Co-Op, Algonquin General Store, and Olive Tap

Logo & branding goals

  • Rustic, elegant, colorful, natural

  • Inspired by botanical illustration watercolors

  • Incorporate bees and native wildflowers

  • Ready to sell in stores and farmer’s markets

How we delivered (and continue to)

  • Create an elegant yet rustic brand

    • Paired contrasting modern sharp and friendly rounded fonts, and “imperfect” flower illustration.

    • Natural and prairie-inspired color palette with rich blues.

    • Delicate bee and botanical illustrations give a quality handmade look.

  • Incorporate bees and native wildflowers

    • Researched local honey bee and prairie flower species, selected for good color variation and representation. Used a consistent color palette for non-native flavor botanicals to create cohesion.

    • Illustrations are drawn separately and digitally using Procreate, allowing for flexible layering and consistent use across different materials.

  • Ready to sell in stores and farmer’s markets

    • Incorporated up-to-date nutrition fact and relevant food labeling requirements.

    • Flavor names are large and clear with unique color coding and illustrations, to make picking the desired flavor up off a shelf easy.

    • Compared designs to existing honey packaging to create something elevated.

“I can’t believe this is my brand. It’s so beautiful, exactly what I was envisioning, and everyone loves it!”
