This is a conceptual packaging redesign for Ballantine’s 30 Years Old Heritage Edition, developed as a self-initiated project to explore high-end spirits branding. The objective was to reflect the prestige, craftsmanship, and legacy of Ballantine’s through an elegant, timeless visual language.
Inspired by the brand’s heritage, the design highlights rich, premium materials, detailed typographic elements, and a sophisticated color palette, combining gold accents with deep, mature tones to evoke a sense of tradition and exclusivity.")

The final concept centers on a refined, nature-inspired identity brought to life through a custom logotype and an expressive, collectible label series. Each label features a native bird species that embodies the character of the wine. These bird illustrations were conceptually developed and illustrated by me, designed to enhance the storytelling and sense of place unique to each bottle.
The combination of elegant typography, organic imagery, and thoughtful layout elevates the brand’s connection to the land, creating a cohesive visual language across the product range. The result is a packaging system that merges artistry with authenticity—positioning Grapeland as a contemporary voice rooted in tradition and nature.")

Premium finishes (matte, gold foil, embossing) add shelf appeal, while the compact shape hugs the bottle for impact without waste. The result: a standout pack that’s giftable, exciting, and unmistakably Jägermeister.")

PAISANO MEXIHCAH for Cristalino
PAISANA for Rosé")
