Product Design

The intricate details of our Misfits & Mavens package design invite you into a world of whimsy and wonder. The new packaging was designed to stand out on the shelf with custom illustrations, vibrant colors, and opulent gold foil embellishments that are bound to catch your eye. Peer into a world filled with "controlled" chaos, and intriguing characters meant to audaciously live in a space where people tend to take themselves just a little too seriously.
