Procut Designer – Luxury Packaging System

This role offers an opportunity to shape the visual and tactile identity of a pioneering luxury water brand, curating Africa’s rarest natural waters. The project centers on developing a holistic brand system inspired by the concept of a curated library, where each water source is presented as a unique artifact. The designer will be responsible for conceptualizing and executing a signature bottle design, a removable sleeve system to narrate each source’s story, and an archive-inspired outer case.

Additional tasks include crafting a cohesive brand identity, encompassing logo, typography, color palette, and certification elements. The initial phase will focus on presenting three distinct bottle concepts, with the potential for further collaboration based on project needs. The ideal candidate is adept at translating narrative and provenance into compelling design, comfortable working remotely, and available for a single project with the possibility of future assignments.
