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

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.

Featured Supplement Projects

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.

Why mushroom brands require a different approach

This 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.

If you're building a wellness brand with a long-term vision - not just another product launch - I would be happy to hear your story.
