Fresh from the Kitchens of the Renowned Daylesford Lake House
Over the past year-or-so we’ve been co-creating with Lake House Founder and food guru Alla Wolf-Tasker and her daughter, Lake House marketer Larissa Wolf-Tasker, cooking-up a tasty brand, name and packaging design for their new range of produce.

Spudbar Re-branding
Spudbar was founded in Melbourne in 2000, born out of a frustration at the lack of a healthy, great tasting, healthy feed that was quick, convenient and value for money. It has been on a mission from day one, to create a new category of food offer that fuses natural goodness and big flavours into the nutrient rich gem that is the steaming baked spud. The potential of the brand was clear, the question was how to realise that great potential by taking the Spudbar brand to the next level.

Gelati Sky is a boutique, premium gelati range. The story of Gelati Sky has a strong personality driven by Gelati Sky founder Paul Scalisi’s memories of growing up in Rome, eating gelati – ‘a world where every moment seemed frozen in an amazing sensory assault and every cloud in the sky made you feel it was about to rain gelato’. We were looking for something that was strikingly unique, represented his story and would create conversation. The communication platform of ‘it’s what dreams taste like’ was derived out of the brand strategy definition for Gelati Sky conducted by Brand DNA.
Our eye-catching design work for 360˚ Property Group – Prince Apartments Project Pitch Documents
360° Property Group is a full-service residential project development sales agency with more than 30 years of accumulated experience with Australia’s largest public and private companies. We were approached by 360° to design a one off sales and marketing proposal/pitch that would ‘blow the pants off’ their potential client and win them this highly prestigious project. We designed a cloth-bound book with black gloss embossed logo on the cover.
The book was bound using Chicago screws and housed within an even larger box which was also cloth covered. The information and layout design of the book leveraged the visual cues of luxury architecture to position 360˚ as understanding the mind-space required to effectively understand the project and present the requisite aspirational communications campaign to the market. The overall piece reflected the design credentials, style and confidence of the property development itself and played a vital role in winning our client the project.
Engaging Event Communications Design
The Entrepreneurs Organisation (EO) is a global business organisation of around 8,000 owners of fast growth businesses. The Melbourne chapter runs a number of learning and social events each year for their members. When EO Melbourne held a family Easter event we were engaged to design the invitation and provide creative direction in order to make this a highly anticipated, highly attended and highly memorable event.
2008 was a rocky year, the global financial crisis was on everyone lips. So, for our client christmas present we wanted a gift that would offer a little hit of hope and sweetness in tough times, and chocolate cheers everyone up.
We sourced the most stunning chocolate in the world that looked just as sublime as it tasted from our good friends at Ganashe Chocolate. We then designed the packages to reflect the premium quality of the chocolate and to inspire a cosy, peaceful moment of calm in such turbulent times.
A Truly Deeply, Natural Cordial Packaging Design Project – Five Flavours of Brand Personality
We often talk about the role of design in expressing different personalities for a brand. We work in the space every day, but rarely get the opportunity to explore the expression of multiple brand personalities for the one product type. We decided it was time to walk the talk and set ourselves a challenge; to develop five unique, integrated packaging strategies based upon an identical product – a range of (very delicious) natural fruit cordials.
Mamma Lucia Brand & Packaging Design
An Italian Cheese Story
Our initial brief for this project was to develop an Italian story for a range of seven Italian style cheese SKUs.
The brand name (now long forgotten) was unremarkable (I mentioned it was long forgotten) with a slight Eastern European feel. The brand had a foothold in a number of local delicatessens, but the Fresh Cheese Company had negotiated the opportunity to trial the brand in National supermarket chain Woolworths. If we could create a strong enough brand story on shelf to impress the buyers at Woolworths, the Fresh Cheese Company had a
winner on their hands.
