Eye Candy is an independent boutique branding and packaging agency for food & beverage companies with a soft spot for ethnic and cultural brands.

Jerk Wieners Packaging Design

We work with food and beverage consumer packaged good (CPGs) who want to be category leaders and need a fuss-free solution.

We are rewriting the ‘exotic’ narrative, creating packaging that is a passport to guide consumers, making ethnic foods feel at home in any aisle.

We operate in an agriculturally rich region, and live directly beside wonderful producers so we understand what it takes to make great tasting food.

Finally, we are also in the business of saving time, so we focus on direct communication, plenty of collaboration, and quick turnarounds.

Leave everything to us.

 

With over 19 years in the industry, I build and strengthen your food brand through packaging design and visual identity. My favourite foods are carnitas, kimchi and tiramisu. Learn more about Amanda DeVries>
