Research & Discovery
Brand & Market Analysis
To establish a strong foundation, I conducted a brand analysis of Pretzel Crisps and reviewed competitive snack packaging within the same category.
Market research revealed that Pretzel Crisps’ strongest value proposition lies in its crisp texture and ability to pair with dips, spreads, and meals. The redesign needed to visually communicate these qualities while reducing unnecessary visual noise.
design system
I created a cohesive design system that improves clarity, consistency, and shelf recognition. A powerful brand symbol serves as the layout's focal point, and it has well-balanced images, elegant spacing, and distinct callouts that facilitate rapid reading. To guarantee readability and scalability across flavors, typography and colour were optimized.

Learnings
01.
I realized a brand isn’t just a logo or a colour palette, but it’s the story. Every design choice I made had to reinforce the brand’s new personality, from the typography to the messaging.

02.
I learned that great design starts way before the visuals. Researching the market, competitors, and audience gave me clear direction before I even opened my design tools.
01.
User testing challenged my assumptions and reshaped the product. The strongest solutions came directly from user behavior—not initial ideas.
02.
This project taught me to balance ambition with practicality. Prioritizing core value over feature overload led to a more focused experience.
