Excited to share that we won Gold at the Scottish Design Awards last week for our work on the packaging for @module.roast

It was a real honour to be recognised alongside so many brilliant studios and designers. Congratulations to everyone who took home an award. The standard this year was incredibly high.

Thanks again to @scottishdesignawards for hosting.

Earlier this year, we worked with @queereast to design the inaugural issue of their annual magazine, Second Thoughts, a publication devoted to alternative perspectives on queer Asian cinema, arts and culture.

Building on the Queer East identity, we developed a two-colour publication centred around their signature blue, paired with black-and-white imagery for the footnote content, creating a visual link between their digital and printed materials.

The magazine is available to purchase via @queereast and the full case study will be live soon 📖

We’re really excited to share that Module (@module.roast) has won first place at the 2026 Dieline Awards for Best Tea & Coffee Packaging. It’s been great to see the boxes on show in New York alongside so many other strong projects.

Thanks to Dieline (@thedieline) for hosting, and a special thank you to all of our partners who helped make the project possible (listed below).

Across the system, the packaging is grounded in utility and material honesty, designed to be continuously repeated while remaining open to change. Consistency comes from structure and process, while evolution is introduced through detail, allowing each release to feel both familiar and unique.

You can find out more through our case study or via the Dieline article, links in bio.

Heather Woof is an Edinburgh-based jewellery designer. As part of a wider identity and packaging project, we created printed collection guides using Offenbach Bible 80gsm. To protect these, each is housed in a paper folder, creating a numbered archive of past collections. Full project case study coming soon.

Collection Guide: Offenbach Bible 80gsm @fennerpaper
Folder: Cairn Eco Kraft
