Ouro Chocolate


2025.
Package Design.

Ouro Chocolate is a luxury, seasonal chocolate brand that masquerades as a vacation resort. It offers something sweet and festive as an escape from everyday woes. Each season is represented by a flavor and unique packaging that serves as a glimpse into the landscape the brand promises. Enjoy our lovingly crafted taste of the outdoors while staying cozy inside!







Packaging Intent


I wanted the unpackaging experience to feel like opening the door from a cozy cottage to see the view outside. The sleeve served as the interior of the cottage with a window to see the view outside. Once removed, one would be greeted with a sprawling illustrative landscape that varied depending on the flavor. Both illustrations were done as to create a seamless pattern that could “loop” endlessly.

Process


From the beginning I was interested in reveals and sleeves. I wanted it to be a chocolate bar that also served as a postcard-esque promise of adventure. We switched from the typical bar shape to a pentagon, and made the bar slimmer to reflect the semiotics of a house and a more luxurious brand. I built out every version and made notes accordingly.

Still here? I am currently listening to Audrey Nuna’s Damn Right. Listen along!
