WESTFAX BREWING

Located on the iconic Colfax Avenue next to the legendary Casa Bonita, Westfax Brewing Co. needed a packaging presence as eclectic as its surroundings. I partnered with the brewery to design a versatile labeling system that balances creative storytelling with strict regulatory compliance, ensuring their diverse lineup of small batch releases stands out in the competitive Colorado craft beer market.

Precision on the Production Line

Designing for alcohol packaging requires navigating a maze of federal regulations without stifling creativity. I managed the end-to-end design lifecycle for dozens of unique releases, ensuring that every government warning, ABV listing, and UPC code met strict legal standards while maintaining the artistic integrity of the label. I built a system that allowed us to pivot styles from photorealistic holiday themes to clean typographic designs without losing the brand's core identity.

To bridge the gap between design and physical production, I developed hyper-realistic product visualizations that allowed the brewery to market new releases before the cans were even wrapped. This asset pipeline extended beyond the shelf; I translated fan-favorite label concepts into sold-out apparel runs, effectively turning successful packaging designs into wearable revenue streams
