What if mushroom supplements felt like a lifestyle brand instead of another wellness product?
Most mushroom brands speak about ingredients, but I prefer to build brands people remember long before they compare formulas

Branding & Packaging Design for Functional Mushroom Supplements
Functional mushrooms occupy a unique space between nutrition, wellness and lifestyle.
The strongest brands aren't built around scientific claims alone. They create curiosity, confidence and a visual language that makes a complex category feel approachable.
I help founders develop scalable branding systems that work across powders, gummies, capsules, tinctures and future product lines - while remaining distinctive on increasingly crowded shelves.

From concept to the first production run - Mend Wellness (UK)
For Mend Wellness, my role extended far beyond branding. The project included:
Brand Identity
Packaging Design
Website Design
Product Photography Art Direction
Model Casting
Location Scouting
Creative Direction for the Photoshoot
Coordination with three packaging manufacturers in China
Packaging sampling and production approvals before the first manufacturing run
Working closely with suppliers during production helped ensure that materials, finishes and structural details matched the original creative vision rather than becoming compromised during manufacturing.
Turning functional mushrooms into a brand people wanted to explore - MYND Mushrooms (USA)
Instead of following the expected earthy aesthetics of the category, I imagined MYND as a retro space adventure.
The packaging system transformed every product into part of a larger universe, allowing gummies, chocolates and future products to share one recognizable visual language while standing apart from conventional supplement brands.
Beyond the packaging itself, the project expanded into launch visuals, campaign imagery and digital assets designed to help the brand feel complete from day one.
Building a brand ready for future products - Healthy Yeti (UK)
Brand identity and packaging developed for a UK supplement company focused on sports nutrition and healthy living.
The project explored bold branding combined with a scalable packaging system for future product categories.
Why mushroom brands require a different approachThis category grows faster than almost any other segment within wellness with new brands appearing every month.
Most of them compete using the same natural colours, forest imagery and scientific language, while I look for something different.
Instead of making products appear healthier, I focus on making brands more memorable, because recognition often becomes a stronger competitive advantage than another list of ingredients.

The strongest supplement brands aren't remembered because they launched with the loudest packaging.
They're remembered because they understood people before they designed for them.
