Designing the spirit of Colorado.
As one member of a three person design studio, I played a large part in all of the brand development projects for Ironton Distillery & Crafthouse’s 2019 launch. But in my mind, it all centered around the bottles. Sold only at the RiNo crafthouse, the bottles would be on display, part of the physical space. It felt more like creating works of art than consumer packaging.
Inspired by place.
Ironton’s tagline, “Distilling the Spirit of Colorado,” was the touchstone for design decisions. Camping vibes meet urban nights. Manicured nails digging in the dirt of the on-site garden. Lost mining town mythology told by a female distiller. Visualized by a careful balance of rustic elements in minimal layouts and actualized with high-end production.
