01 / OVERVIEW

Rooted in nature.
Built from the ground up.

A personal project that grew from a local connection to nature — turning regional heritage into a complete brand, from concept to product and digital experience.

The Inspiration

Inspired by where I come from.

I grew up in Lithuania's Švenčionys region, known for its herbal traditions. Surrounded by forests, meadows and native plants, I wanted to turn that local heritage into something meaningful.

The Idea

Bringing nature into everyday care.

Florea was born from the idea of creating botanical skincare inspired by local plants — thoughtful, accessible products for everyday skin and hair care.

The Execution

Turning an idea into a complete brand.

I independently developed Florea from concept to visual identity, print-approved packaging and a functioning e-commerce website, connecting the physical and digital experience.

Brand Strategy & Identity

A / Product strategy

A product range built around real constraints.

Rather than choosing products based on aesthetics alone, I shaped Florea's range around three considerations: what could realistically be produced, what people use in everyday care, and how the products could work together.

Production feasibility
Suited to the planned small-batch production setup.
Everyday needs
Practical personal-care and home products.
Product complementarity
Products that work individually or in curated gift sets.

THE PRODUCT RANGE

  • Hydrosols
  • Soaps
  • Solid Shampoos
  • Candles
  • Gift Sets

B / Brand identity

One identity across a growing product family.

I developed a flexible visual language built around botanical illustrations, editorial typography and natural tones. Each plant gives a product its own character while keeping the wider collection recognizably Florea.

Product & Packaging System

Physical products.
One packaging system.

Different products required different packaging solutions. I developed a consistent visual hierarchy across bottles and cartons, alongside standardized gift-box formats designed to support multiple product combinations.

Packaging artwork approved for printing. Product development is ongoing.

A / INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT PACKAGING

One identity,
across every surface.

A unified system of typography, botanical illustration and clear information creates a recognizable and consistent product experience.

  • Botanical illustrations distinguish product variants.
  • Consistent typography and hierarchy connect bottles and cartons.
  • Detailed product information is organized across the packaging surfaces.

B / MODULAR GIFT SET SYSTEM

Two formats.
Four combinations.

By standardizing the outer packaging and adapting the internal layouts, I could accommodate different product combinations without creating a completely separate packaging solution for every set.

E-commerce Experience

From brand storytelling to product discovery.

I designed Florea's storefront to balance an expressive botanical identity with clear product navigation and information. The experience gives the brand room to tell its story while making individual products easy to explore.
