Illustrator/Packaging Designer for Artisan Tea Brand

About the Project:
We are a small-batch, premium tea brand with a focus on sustainability, tradition, and aesthetics. Our teas are handpicked, organic, and ethically sourced. We want the visual identity of our packaging to reflect these values through beautiful, expressive illustrations.

This project includes the launch of 5 distinct tea blends—each with its own story and mood.

What We Need:
A series of custom illustrations for the front of our tea packaging (digital or traditional media)
Design of labels, visual compositions, color palettes, and graphic elements for each blend.
Preparation of print-ready files (dielines, CMYK, final export in PDF/PSD/AI formats)


Our Ideal Designer:
Experienced in illustration and packaging design for food or beverage brands
Strong portfolio featuring original, textured, and expressive artwork
Comfortable working with dielines, packaging layout, and FDA/compliance standards
Proficient in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
Reliable, deadline-oriented, and open to creative feedback
Bonus: a genuine love for tea.

What We Provide:
A clear creative brief with moodboards and product background
Technical dielines and brand guidelines
Visual references and inspiration
Feedback and support at every stage
Potential for ongoing work (seasonal flavors, merch, social assets)

Please share your experience and portfolio suitable for our request.
