Recent Work Highlight

Reset Rituals - Logo, Branding, & Packaging

For my client Reset Rituals, a small local business specialising in handmade energy mists, I developed a brand identity and packaging design that beautifully reflects the essence of their products. These mists, crafted with 100% natural therapeutic-grade essential oils, are designed to support each chakra and enhance well-being.

 

Drawing inspiration from gemstones that align with the energy of each of the three products, I created a logo and packaging that embody the healing properties and vibrancy of these stones. My work aimed to visually capture the calming and restorative nature of the mists, ensuring the design resonates with those seeking balance and a connection in their daily rituals. Handmade in Melbourne and kinesiology tested, Reset Rituals needed a visual identity to communicate their desire to help others reset and recharge - something I’m proud to have brought to life through thoughtful and intentional design.
