Saving Seeds

Client

Self-initiated

Scope

Illustration, Print Design, Packaging

With an iPad and some leftover paper, I created custom envelopes for seeds saved from my garden. Digital illustrations and lettering were drawn in Procreate before the packaging was designed, printed, then folded and assembled by hand.

A satisfying combination of digital and tactile craft.
