Since 2022, I have partnered with Magic Candle Company to create designs and illustrations for their various candles and other products. In addition to product design, I work with them to design monthly marketing ad campaigns and motion graphics. I have also had the opportunity to partner with their vendors, such as Universal Studios and Hershey Park, to design candle labels for their various events. Here is a sample of the creative work I have done for them.

This is the new Bayou Adventure Collection that launched in 2023. I created a custom logo and illustration for the candle based on New Orleans' Bayou and applied the design to all the other products shown below.

Here are a few before and after examples of updating the label art for the MCC fragrances. I consider it a collaboration with the original designer, Zachary Kern, as he developed the original logos and icons. I was asked to enhance the art by adding background illustration to the designs. I tried to keep them looking relatively close in color to the original as possible while adding more detail to fill out the space of the label.

Here are a couple of designs I created while partnering with Magic Candle Co. and Universal Studios and Hershey Park. Each studio provided creative assets which I used to create the label designs for these candles.
