Creative Process
My top priority is to exceed your expectations — both in design and efficiency. I offer a wide variety of services including packaging + label design, brochures + marketing collateral, vineyard maps, branding and web design. A few notes about the process:
Big Picture Goals. Through client meetings and research, we'll work together to define project objectives, target audience, and timelines.
Conceptualize. We’ll create initial mockups to determine the design direction and tailor it according to your tastes and ideals.
Refine. Once a direction has been decided, we’ll refine the design and all supporting elements.
Wrap up. For print or graphic design projects, your final files are promptly delivered in all desired file formats. For print projects, we’ll connect you directly with quality printers and work with you until the final piece is in your hands.

Packaging Design
This was a dream wine label project for a very small winery. Winemaker and owner, Eric Carucci, appreciated Jeremy's work and wanted to somehow integrate a photo that truly represented his wines, the region and the terrain in which many of the grapes were sourced.
The photo on the label (see image) was taken at the top of the western most point of the Sta. Rita Hills Appellation in Santa Barbara County facing east. We wanted the Carucci logo to look as though it was emerging from the photo itself, so the logo is blind embossed. We chose a wrap around label to give the bottle an almost infinity feel and allowing the entire image to show as you turn the bottle. The varietal is done in foil to add the only pop of color seen on the label.
The bottle is photographed from 3 perspectives to show the label in full. Also, shown below is the original photograph taken which was the inspiration for the label.
This was a wine label project created for Dana Volk, owner, winemaker and female extraordinaire for Dana V Wines. After a previous life in the wine business, she decided to move back "home" to the Santa Ynez Valley and begin her second career in wine with her own personal project. Her vision is to make delicious, high quality wines from the local area that her friends and family could afford. She has a creative, vibrant energy that we hoped to capture in her label.
As an enthusiast of all things ocean/beach/outdoors, Dana wanted to somehow incorporate the ocean without being too literal. The goal was to keep the artwork both whimsical and modern. The original artwork was created using a wood carving block. Future varietals will incorporate various accent colors and foils for the higher end brands.
Be sure to check out Dana's wines and visit her in Solvang, CA!

This wine label project was created as part of the 90th anniversary for the Biltmore, Santa Barbara Four Seasons Resort. Before beginning the project, we toured the property and referenced elements that were significant to the Resort to draw inspiration from (see a few elements referenced above).
The set of two, the Reserve “1927" and the Biltmore Merlot, represent the dual nature of the design. The “1927” is a limited edition bottling while the white label is intended to be made each year.
The font for “Biltmore” was traced from an old photograph of the property to tie in with the Art Deco period when the resort was built. The channel islands at the base references the view as seen from the resort and the palm texture is a tribute to the diverse collection of palm species found throughout the resort’s property.
SeaGoat is a boutique wine label curated by Carlos Hubner-Arteta, an importer of small wine labels from Spain and South America. “A SeaGoat is a mythical creature that emerged from the Seaand lost its tail on the shore as it climbed into the hills. Our first effort is 11 barrels of Chardonnay sourced from three,distinct vineyards planted on this ancient seabed. Salud!” — C.H.A.
This was the first vintage for the Hudson Bellamy wine label project. The client wanted a geometric focus label and minimal attention to their names. We blind embossed "Hudson Bellamy" so it appeared as though it emerged from the rays on the label. Later, they decided to remove their names all together except for the back label and add a fantasy name to each bottling instead (see right).
