Wrec Pac 

Development of the Wrec Pac visual brand identity helped them create product awareness that resulted in sales to multiple yoga studios and boutiques as well as a presence at product Tradeshows.

Wrec Pac was an innovative start-up looking for a visual identity that stood out in the yoga, recreational bag market.

I worked with their founder to capture their central ideals: enjoying yoga and the picturesque Westcoast lifestyle.

Through the design development process, we focused on combining the iconic imagery of the Westcoast mountains and ocean with the unique roll-out functionality of the Wrec Pac. It was essential to convey the importance of maintaining a balanced active lifestyle, especially in today's modern hectic world.

The logo and the accompanying visual identity captures enjoying and relaxing in the Westcoast lifestyle. Audiences connect with the modern aesthetic and subtle ode to the coastal mountains and ocean.

Since launch, there has been tremendous interest in the Wrec Pac. Several yoga studios and boutiques are now stocking the innovative bag.

DIGITAL

Being a small startup, Wrec Pac required a digital strategy that was economical and reached its younger customer demographic. We worked together to build a scalable Shopify eCommerce website and a fun and engaging social media approach that conveyed accessibility and adventurousness.
