Case Study
Fitrix Energy Balls
Getting nutty about nutrition
Fitrix energy balls debuted as a truly delicious and nutritious snack with short list of ingredients, challenging their bland tasting, sporty energy-bar competition. The challenge was two-fold: design packaging that stands out as all-natural, high-quality, and delicious while respecting the start-up's initial tight budget. I designed a label for budget-friendly clamshells with rich, natural textures and a down-to-earth sense of humor to create a highly approachable and energetic brand.

Visual Identity: Humor & Natural Texture
The brand personality is down to earth, fun, and built around the simple, powerful concept: nuts are nature's perfect energy source. To differentiate Fitrix from sterile, high-performance competitors, we created a dynamic, natural, and flavorful look.

Photography
Product photography was carefully executed to showcase the whole, identifiable, high-quality ingredients for each specific flavor, reinforcing the product's premium, natural positioning.

Color
Each flavor is differentiated using a vibrant color scheme pulled directly from its rich ingredients Overlapping color elements were used to create a kinetic, energetic feel that pops on the shelf.




Hand-Drawn Patterns
To emphasize being all-natural and delicious, I drew layered nutty patterns for each flavor’s nut: cashews, walnuts, peanuts, and almonds. This textural, organic element gives the design an approachable, artisan quality.






Typography
For the bulk packages, I designed a lockup of "Nutty Quips.” The playful design connects with the shopper and creates a lasting impression encouraging shoppers to remember to buy.

Display Boxes
For wholesale and retail, I designed bulk boxes that doubled as display. The boxes could be opened and displayed upright, functioning as signage to further make the brand stand out.
