I’m Jess Leftault — a curious and thoughtful graphic designer with a well rounded set of skills to offer small businesses, in house marketing teams, and nonprofits. Though print and packaging design are what I’m most passionate about, I also offer expertise in digital marketing, social media, e-commerce and web design.
Mushroom Wellness™
Retail Product Displays
Client: Herb Pharm
Role: Production Designer
I worked closely with the vendor to fine tune a product display design for our new mushroom capsule line. As a new product for Herb Pharm, it was essential we design a display that could be sent individually to retailers who were taking a risk on a new product.
This required extensive ship testing and coordination between marketing, operations, and the vendor to create a high quality, filled and finished display that retailers could quickly unpack and place in their store aisle.
Display Production Vendor: The Royal Group
UK Label Redesign Concepts
Client: Herb Pharm
Role: Label Designer
Worked with our EU distribution partners to develop a fresh label design for our launch in the UK. After working through several concepts, pictured here, the iconic nature of our current label became apparent after consumer testing.
While these concepts were never used, the process taught me a lot about designing for the consumer and reimagining an established brand.
