Fashion marketing, brand development & retail operations support

Over a 3–4 month engagement with this contemporary fashion label, I worked across marketing, retail operations, photoshoot coordination, product development, and branding — gaining exposure to how a collection moves from ideation to the sales floor.

Case Study — Saru Bakes

Rebranding a homemade bakery into a premium, giftable brand

SARU BAKES started as a simple home-bakery identity. The project’s goal was a complete visual and packaging system — one polished enough for gifting and social media, without losing the brand’s homemade warmth. Tagline: “Your daily dose of sweetness.”

Brand Identity

Built a premium identity around the existing logo using mint aqua, burgundy, and cream — homemade but elevated, giftable, and social-media friendly.

Packaging System

Designed a full range — classic box, window box, tin, glass cookie jar, and redesigned butter paper — each tuned for gifting and shelf presence.

03

Pattern & Icon System

Developed a bakery-inspired icon language — cookies, whisks, cupcakes — refined into a flexible pattern used across packaging and merch.

04

Brand Extensions

Explored merch, loyalty cards, and seasonal packaging, repositioning Saru Bakes from a product seller into a lifestyle-driven gifting brand.

Case Study — Mumbai Art Expo

Art in every gali

MAE is a cultural initiative celebrating Mumbai’s artistic community. As part of the creative team, I helped connect contemporary art with the city’s everyday culture — through visual assets, merchandise, motion graphics, and campaign content built around the idea “Art in Every Gali.”

One identity, translated across every touchpoint.

Merchandise

Created production-ready artwork for tote bags, T-shirts, stickers, and postcards, extending the identity beyond the event itself.

Field Notes

From basic product to brand obsession.

Not every breakout brand invents something new. The ones that break through culture take an ordinary product — olive oil, lip balm, sparkling water — and make it feel newly desirable through packaging, storytelling, and social-first design. Graza did this by trading the traditional glass bottle for a bright green squeeze pack, turning a pantry staple into a countertop object people photograph, gift, and keep in reach.

For modern consumers, packaging is the first piece of content — seen before any brand story or ad. The strongest products today aren’t asking how to look premium. They’re asking how to feel impossible to ignore.

Inspired by the rise of social-first CPG brands such as Graza, whose squeeze-bottle packaging reframed olive oil as a casual, everyday ritual rather than a traditional pantry item.
