I collaborated closely with rPlanet Earth — a sustainable-packaging company — to shape their product design and marketing strategy, bringing my background in graphic design and product photography to help refine their packaging visuals and consumer messaging. I worked on conceptualizing and refining packaging layouts so their eco-friendly rPET containers not only met functional and sustainability goals, but also communicated premium quality and environmental values. On the marketing side, I contributed to visual storytelling — producing imagery and design assets that highlighted rPlanet Earth’s vertically integrated recycling process, low-GHG footprint, and commitment to a zero-plastic-waste mission. My efforts supported them in positioning their brand as both environmentally responsible and shelf-ready — helping their products look appealing to retailers and consumers alike.

In collaborating with upper management I guided their product development from initial concept through final production — then used my skills in art direction, graphic design, and photography to bring the line to life. From moodboards and packaging design, to labelling, layout, and branding elements, I translated Vivitone’s commitment to “Color. Style. Beauty.” into a cohesive visual identity. Once the products were ready, I shot high-quality, stylized photography that highlighted texture, color, packaging, and quality — perfect for e-commerce, catalogs, and marketing campaigns. Finally, I designed marketing materials — from web banners to print layouts — that harmonized with the brand’s aesthetic and positioned Vivitone as a premium, professional-grade beauty line. The result: a seamless pipeline from idea to production to imagery that captures both performance and polish.

I created the concept, packaging, and content design by blending Sesame Street’s playful energy with In KidZ’s mission to celebrate cultural diversity. The goal was to make cooking feel fun and empowering for kids, using bright visuals and simple, engaging instructions that turn each recipe into a small cultural adventure. Every design choice aimed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and show that food is a universal bridge connecting us all.

Professional Close-Up Product Photography Needed

I was extremely satisfied with the quality of the product photography that Alex delivered. He was very easy to work with and his output was more than I expected. I can tell he is very experienced and has a good sense of what angles to take for the products to look their best. I would definitely hire Alex again for my next project.
