I am fortunate to work with consumer goods manufacturers that are as passionate about their work as I am about mine. Because of this, I want to honor the craft they have put into their products by creating interesting, beautiful packaging for them. In the case of Beekman 1802 products, my job was to make sure that each soap, lotion and gift box tells a story, sparks sensory notes, and accurately represents just how wonderful the products are.

THE ARTWORK
I was commissioned to bring Arcadia to life.
My design process always begins with thorough plant research and sketches. The Arcadia collection had to span multiple products of varying sizes. My primary goal was to have the artwork scaled perfectly across the collection, keeping a consistent size and detail level across all products regardless of their size. My solution was to build three pattern tiles that could either be repeated to create an infinite pattern, or could be rotated and placed randomly to create entirely new compositions.
THE VECTOR ASSETS
A secondary illustration, the 'A' monogram for Arcadia, was illustrated and vectorized for use on products and in promotional applications.
