Evopack, a Swiss/German start-up, asked me to build a brand and website to represent their revolutionary and sustainable packaging solutions. As part of this, I created a custom design system and built their web app using React, SCSS, Figma and TypeScript.

A laptop and phone showing the EVOPACK web app

EVOPACK wanted to differentiate themselves with a sustainable angle from the traditional chemical industry while conveying reliability and trust. I began by exploring various themes for the logo, such as incorporating DNA, evolution, arrows, preservation, nature and movement.identifying themes Everything started off with the logo

Various concepts for EVOPACK's logo side by side

The agreed upon brand strategy focuses on being personal, innovative and professional.

An image showing the pages of the brand guidelines

To minimise design and development work, EVOPACK's resulting design system is based on atomic design principles.

Building connections — We included features on all pages to promote engagement with potential customers and investors.

Reusable page structures allowed EVOPACK's website to be built quickly and easily scaled.

The web app needed to support multiple languages — such as English, German and French — so we built language context into the app which users can easily toggle between.

Eventually we migrated the website to Webflow and connected it to the in-built CMS so that any team member could easily manage the website going forward.

One of the main lessons learned from this project is the importance of pre-agreed checkpoints and customer feedback. Agreeing on deadlines for each deliverable and reviewing them before proceeding to the next stage helped us move forward while minimising revisions.
