Big break: Le Chat brewery granted us tremendous freedom in designing colorful packaging for its beer. That project showcased our ability to create unique, eye-catching designs, which lead to many more opportunities.
Technique: We design digitally and also work by hand. For 3-D modeling of products and interiors, we mainly use Cinema 4D.
Philosophy: We are dedicated to creating unique pieces that make brands memorable. We don’t want people to throw away our packaging. Our goal is to make people collect it!
Designer, illustrator and letterer Ben Johnston will not be pigeon-holed into one area of design.
