Mala the Brand is a Canadian candle brand known for it's minimalist aesthetic and eco-friendly, hand-poured soy candles.

As Mala’s in-house designer, I created social content, packaging, email campaigns, ad creatives, and launch visuals. I now support the brand as a freelance designer, focusing on social media, email design, and packaging.

Product Packaging

I designed product packaging for Mala's core line, seasonal releases, and limited edition collections — featured in major North American retailers including Indigo, Holt Renfrew, Whole Foods, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Macy's, and more.

My packaging work at Mala spanned a wide range of products, including match boxes, gift boxes, advent calendars, custom labels, all designed to stay true to the brand's identity while elevating the customer's unboxing experience.

I also collaborated with brands such as Benefit Cosmetics Canada ↗, Glow Recipe ↗, The Jilly Box by Jillian Harris ↗, and more to create custom co-branded packaging for exclusive launches and partnerships.
