Brand, packaging and design realisation. 20+ years in premium drinks, 14 at Stranger & Stranger. Brisbane, working globally.
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Foil, emboss and varnish are what make a premium pack feel premium. They’re also where the money goes.
Eight mistakes I’ve seen repeat across 20 years of drinks packaging, and the fix for each. Every one is a decision that costs nothing while the design can still move, and a reprint once it can’t.
Save it for your next press check.

Friday’s office wasn’t bad at all. ☀️

Up near Maleny visiting a client, with a little packaging work along the way.

Different setting, same attention to the details.

A pack can look brilliant on screen. But before it reaches a shelf, someone needs to resolve the materials, finishes, artwork and how everything fits together.

That’s the part I really enjoy: figuring out how to make an ambitious idea work in the real world.

And it’s where cutting corners can become expensive. The wrong stock, an unsuitable finish or an unresolved artwork detail can mean rework rather than a smooth production run.

Good packaging design considers how it will be made, not just how it looks.

That thinking is at the heart of Proof Creative.

Still buzzing from yesterday’s @womaninfront_ event at the beautiful @evrarestaurant in Newstead ❤️

I had the pleasure of representing Carl and our newly launched design studio @proof.creative, and what an incredible afternoon it was.

A huge shoutout to @lyla_tuwhangai for bringing together such an amazing group of women. It was wonderful meeting so many inspiring people, making new connections and hearing the stories behind the businesses they’ve built.

We started with @davvyxx who guided us through breathwork and a moment to reconnect within. I absolutely loved it. I’d love to join one of your retreats next — I might even convince @carloscurcurutos 😂

Then came some incredibly inspiring stories.

Perry from @agnesathletica — your focus, determination and what you’ve built was genuinely inspiring.

And @reneeemay from @lollymaystore — you were incredible and such a beautiful soul. Hearing your story and how you grew your business was one of my favourite parts of the afternoon.

It was also such a great opportunity to introduce more people to @proof.creative and what Carl has created after 20+ years working in brand and packaging.

And there’s still time to win a PROOF CHECK™ worth $1,500.

A senior brand and packaging audit designed to identify what’s working, what could work harder and where the biggest opportunities are for your brand.

It takes 10 seconds to enter — just your name and email.

Winner drawn Monday 14 September and announced by email.

Thank you again to everyone I met. I came home inspired, full of ideas and very grateful to have been part of such a beautiful afternoon. 🙏🙌🎉 taken in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia by @proof.creative
