A PACKAGING DESIGN STUDIO FOR BEAUTY, WELLNESS & LIFESTYLE BRANDS
More than packaging.
AN EXPERIENCE.
We elevate brands through distinctive packaging designed to get noticed, displayed, collected, and shared.
Through thoughtful storytelling and a collaborative design process, we translate your brand's vision and values into packaging that connects with customers—from concept through production.
our design process
-
We start with a kickoff call to dig into your brand, your current packaging, and your competition. From there we audit everything — your visuals, messaging, and how you stack up against competitors — to identify what's working, what isn't, and exactly what needs to change to make your brand feel premium and credible.
-
We translate those insights into real design concepts so you can see how your new brand and packaging will look and feel. Every concept is built around catching attention, building trust through product storytelling, and giving customers a reason to choose you — and come back. You'll also receive recommendations on materials, finishes, and customizations that elevate the unboxing experience and perceived value.
-
We meet to review the concepts together, talk through what resonates, and align on the strongest direction. You leave this session with clarity and a clear path forward.
-
We refine every detail until your packaging looks beautiful on a shelf, in a photo, and in your customer's hands. This includes finalizing your product messaging, sourcing premium sustainable materials, and vetting vendors. A few rounds of collaborative refinement ensure everything is exactly right before we go to print.
-
We take your approved design from digital file to physical product — providing print-ready files, connecting you with trusted vendors, and guiding you through proofing so you avoid costly mistakes and launch with confidence.
We take beauty and wellness brands from concept to finished packaging through a proven process that's strategic, creative, and fully guided.

Our Story
I'm Sarah, founder of RM8 — a design studio built around the belief that great packaging is more than a container. It's a brand statement.
With over 20 years as a creative director across fashion, beauty, and music, I've led brand identity, packaging, and visual campaigns for brands like Apple and Dior. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how design helps brands stand out, sell, and scale.
Packaging has always been my favorite medium — rooted in traditional graphic design and printing techniques that taught me to respect the craft. Today I bring that to emerging beauty and wellness brands, creating packaging that feels distinctive, credible, and built to grow.
