    Brand Refresh

    ness


    ness is for anyone looking to enhance their life and embrace their own unique “-ness”, whether that’s realness, weirdness, coolness, or sweetness, through cannabis. In 2025, ness wanted to move away from their ’60s-inspired visual identity, which had become increasingly saturated within the cannabis industry, and aimed to shift its focus from 510 vape cartridges to an entire new product line, All-in-One, prompting a brand refresh to align with the launch and strengthen its market presence with a more modern and dynamic approach.

    CORE DESIGN SYSTEM

    1. Outlined product name + flavour icons + format + stars/dots = product logo
    2. 2-colour combo fo each SKU
    3. AI-generated fruit imagery for flavour profile with rules
    4. Flexible frame with wavy border wrapped around content in any ratios


    RESULTS

    • Scaled for packaging, prints, social, email campaigns, retail displays, and OOH promotional videos
    • Repurposed easily and consistently for big headlines or new SKUs in the future, improving design workflows
    • Ensured consistent look and feel



      MARKETING CAMPAIGN

      I led the design for all launch assets and the slushy-flavour-inspired “ALL IN IT TO WIN IT” campaign, which offered a chance to win free slushies for a year, bringing the product's essence to life. Guided by the Creative Director and VP of Brand, the work spotlighted the new branding and product line.
