FWP Ink & Product Packaging

2020–

Under Ferris Wheel Press, a stationery company, I design custom retail packaging for ink collections and other stationery products, such as fountain pens and sketchbooks.

Working from a thematic brief and with collaborating clients, I am responsible for the visual research, composition, colouring and rendering of the artwork, and the final production files for over a dozen product releases per year. Beyond the production files, I adapt the finalized assets for marketing purposes.

My Role:
Graphic Designer
Art Direction: Jim Yu
Project Coordinator: Zoe Reoch
Illustrations: Erin Chan, Tammy Chan, Zoe Reoch
Photography: Rebecca Bruzzese, Claudia Tse
A variety of promotional posts created for Instagram, spotlighting several series of inks (2023+) and the details of their intricately coloured compositions.
Launched in March of 2022, the FerriTalesTM Collection pulls users tumbling down the rabbit hole through a series of Alice in Wonderland-inspired inks.

From the fourth ink (Adventurine) onwards, I have since taken the design lead on this ongoing project. I have creative freedom on each ink's visual concept and I also developed and finalized the die template with R&D.
