Stuffing Cheeks is a healthy cookie treat for hamsters, gerbils, rats and mice, based on the concept of a hamster's cheek pouches.
One of the most easily recognizable and distinct features of a hamster is the cheek pouches. Hamsters use these pouches to store food like a grocery bag that they always have available. By packaging the treats in two transparent pockets, they emphasize the concept of the cheek pouch.

"BAP" is a term used to identify the grains used in Korean cuisine.
The logo is a stylized amalgamation of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy using the character for “rice”, which is also recognizable in the Korean language as well.
This whole grain product comes in three types: brown sweet rice, black sweet rice and mixed grain (five in one). BAP also helps promote healthy eating and, by extension, a healthier lifestyle. The packaging is intended to be re-used as a lunch bag or a hanging pocket organizer.
The tag includes descriptions of the grain, instructions on how to prepare each particular rice product and how to transform the packaging into second and third life objects. Each hand-sewn package is adorned with the product logo, which also forms a cute feline face.

The original name of the “Heart and Stroke Foundation” has been changed to “Heart Foundation” due to the negativity of the word “stroke” affecting the feelings of the audience towards the brand. The Heart Foundation’s new identity illustrates a simple and clean approach, yet it maintains the sincerity of the original research foundation.
On top of the heart, there is a lower case letter “h” that represents the arteries of the heart. The traditional heart shape symbolizes the real human heart, portraying the foundation’s main goal of creating a powerful organization for more research on heart disease and to better educate Canadians about heart health.

Silvert's is a trusted provider of quality elderly care adaptive clothing and dignified hospital gowns in both nursing homes and online. “Adaptive” clothing refers to clothes that have been engineered to meet the limited mobility of aging seniors. Such as open-back blouses and sweaters that can be donned without the wearers having to raise their arms, or open-back pants that let seated people dress without standing up.
Here are some examples of branded works that I have designed.
