Smart Protein

Branding · Product · Digital experience.

My contribution

I created the brand.
And its products, too.

I conceived Smart Protein, its food, drinks and recipes. I developed its identity, menu and experience, from the point of sale to its apps.

Brand in action

From concept to a real space.

The identity became a menu, products, communication and a buying experience.

Design decisions

Three pieces. One brand.

My decision

The identity lives in the menu, too.

I brought the identity into the menu to connect the brand with the buying experience.
