PROJECT OVERVIEW

As the creative director and brand designer for Edible Sweetheart Pottery, I developed a brand identity that exudes warmth, loveliness, and a deep connection to handcrafted artistry. The goal was to encapsulate the essence of Rheanna Chen’s small-batch, mindfully made pottery, emphasizing the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and the human touch.

THE IDEA

The concept centered around creating a romantic wordmark complemented by an earthy color palette and enchanting illustrations. I designed the wordmark to embody elegance and simplicity, while the logomark features an illustration by Anusha Jiradani of hands and a meaningful flower that symbolizes Rheanna’s femininity and her connection to handpicked flowers. Together, these elements tell the story behind each piece, aligning the visual identity with the brand’s core values.

EXECUTION

  • Brand Strategy: Engaged in in-depth brand strategy sessions utilizing the Heart-Led Brand Clarity Workbook to uncover the brand’s authentic identity, purpose, and core values. This process involved strategic planning for communication and execution, ensuring a cohesive and impactful brand presence.
  • Brand Identity: Designed a romantic, clean wordmark that reflects the heartfelt and handcrafted essence of Edible Sweetheart. Collaborated with Anusha Jiradani, who created the illustration for the logomark, featuring hands and a symbolic flower to encapsulate the brand’s artisanal and meaningful approach. The earthy color palette reinforces the connection to nature and craftsmanship.
  • Brand Voice & Tone: Partnered with Sádé Budhlall to craft a warm and authentic brand voice that resonates with Rheanna’s values and the intentional nature of her pottery. The tone was carefully developed to inspire connection and mindfulness within the community.
  • Collateral Design: Developed marketing materials that reflect the brand’s cohesive visual identity, ensuring a consistent and engaging presence across all platforms and touchpoints.

IMPACT & REFLECTION

Collaborating with Edible Sweetheart Pottery allowed me to create a brand identity that truly reflects the essence of the owner and her artistry. The visual and verbal identity captures Rheanna’s passion for handcrafted pottery and her deep connection to the human story. By combining my design of the wordmark with Anusha Jiradani’s logomark illustration and Sádé Budhlall’s thoughtful tone development, we crafted a brand that resonates deeply with its community, inspiring connection, authenticity, and creativity.
