“I want to see a significant rise in the use of sustainable packaging. While developed nations are already on this path, other countries will perhaps take a lot longer, mainly due to economic and social challenges. Yet if not sustainable, packaging can surely be designed to not only be re-cyclable but also returnable, re-purposable or re-fillable. This I believe can...

“The projects that make our heart beat faster are the ones that have a bigger values-driven mission woven through the tapestry of the brand and shown through the materiality and innovation of the packaging — when those collide, we have a chance to shift behaviour.”...
“All projects involve a challenge that does not always correspond to their complexity or scale. Sometimes small projects for small companies force you to overcome more obstacles due to the limited resources available. This is the case with packaging for Utopick, a small bean-to-bar chocolate workshop. All the work is hand-made and hand-packed. The challenge was to improve the packaging...
