In California, cannabis edibles are big business. Yet all the brands in the category look the same – either following the cheesy ‘stoner’ tropes or opting for an ‘old fashioned boiled sweet’ style aesthetic in an attempt to seem credible. This brand was all about intrigue and escapism so, using the name as a springboard, we created a playful narrative thread to run through everything.
We tapped into the nostalgia of brands we grew up with and loved as kids and reinvented them to suit adults today, encouraging people to find their Goldmine – whatever that means to them. Inspired by the world of cosmetics, we created a whole host of branded displays to inject some much-needed excitement into the in-store experience.

Suddenly we’re entering a walk-in geometric-abstract paint, or maybe we’re going through fanciful labyrinths made of shiny colors and forms: the backdrop is by Superclassica SCW, a collection of finely decorated ceramic delights that make white the warmest tint.
Only a dream, or maybe not.

Alec’s Ice Cream is the first of its kind – regenerative A2 milk that’s good for the planet and tummies. They came to Hatch because their pack and mission were getting lost on shelf. We set out to educate and delight consumers, all while highlighting their ice cream that was out of this world delicious. We might say the result was super*naturally good!
Hatch used playful illustrations to exude a magical flavor sense, and textured layers speak to the regenerative soil. The bright colors are hopeful, with fun and inviting typography. The photography (by RC Rivera) features decadent flavor combinations and showcases the premium texture. When you bring it all together, it’s a show-stopping brand.

One of the first, if not the very first Diner in the world, was established in Rhode Island USA in 1892. Walter Scott was the owner and it is said his most popular item at the time was a Chicken sandwich. This inspired the name, narrative and visual identity for Road Diner.
