🔸 Top Rated on Upwork | 100% Job Success | 152 contracts since 2015
🔸 A decade across brand identity, packaging, labels and web design
🔸 Every label approved first time - US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, Singapore
🔸 Upwork's own client endorsement: Label & Packaging Design
Most brands get built in pieces - the logo from one designer, the packaging from another, the website from a third. Nothing quite matches, and the customer feels it before they can name it.
I'm Kirti, an art director and brand identity designer. I build all of it - identity, packaging, labels and the website - as one system under a single creative direction, so everything your customer touches reads as one brand.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔸 Brand systems - logo architecture, palette, type, documented to 100+ pages
🔸 Packaging and labels - dieline through to print-ready file, seven regulatory markets
🔸 Range architecture - one design system holding across an entire product line
🔸 Websites and storefronts - DTC, e-commerce, landing pages, developer-ready components
🔸 Sectors - supplements, food and beverage, beauty, pet care, household, chemical
🔸 Clients - founders, retail brands and private-label manufacturers
◼️ WHAT CLIENTS SAY
★★★★★ "Initially booked a 30 min call with Kirti just to see how it goes, and ended up handing her the full box redesign for our pet care brand. We had FTC wording that had to be right and she got it right... We are launching in retail and online so the box had to work in both. Files came ready for the printer, nothing left for us to do."
★★★★★ "Absolutely incredible designer. 10/10 communication & execution. Clearly a very very skilled designer in color palettes, spacing & blocking, and more. HIRE HER"
◼️ BRAND & PACKAGING
▪ Brand identity - logo suite, color palette, typography, and a brand guidebook your team can hand to anyone
▪ Packaging - pouches, cans, bottles, tubes, jars and cartons, with print-ready dielines that fold correctly the first time
▪ Labels - supplement, food, cosmetic, pet care, household and chemical labels built around the compliance panel, so the required information sits where the regulator wants it and the design still works
▪ Rebranding for companies that have outgrown the identity they started with
◼️ WEB & DIGITAL
▪ DTC and e-commerce storefronts designed from your brand system, not a template in your colors
▪ Landing pages and product pages built for launches and paid campaigns
▪ UI/UX design for websites, apps and dashboards
▪ Amazon and marketplace work - listing imagery, A+ content and brand storefronts
▪ Launch sets - packaging, storefront and listing delivered together, ready for day one
◼️ HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
▪ Questions first - what the product is, who buys it, and what it sits beside on the shelf
▪ Discovery, direction and moodboard, design, refinement, production files - you see every stage, not just the end
▪ I set the direction and tell you why: the color that survives a print run, the layout that reads at arm's length, the type size that clears the compliance panel. That is what hiring an art director gets you
◼️ WHAT YOU GET
▪ Milestones agreed up front, so you always know what's coming
▪ Layered source files with full commercial rights
▪ Print files your printer accepts, design files your developer can build from
▪ Lifetime file backup - lose a file in two years and I'll send it
▪ Support after delivery - come back months later for a change and I'll take care of it
◼️ WE'RE A GOOD FIT IF
▪ You're launching a product and want the identity, packaging and website right from the start
▪ Your packaging is underselling a good product, and you already know it
▪ You're entering a new market and the compliance panel has to be right first time
▪ You've outgrown the brand you launched with
▪ You'd rather brief one person than coordinate four
Tell me what you're building and what it has to sit next to. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.
