What I design
Packaging for product based brands, including:
• candle boxes and premium vessels
• perfume and eau de parfum primary and secondary packaging
• grooming and beauty packaging
• lifestyle and home goods
• labels for bottles, jars, tubes, tins, and boxes
• outer cartons, inner fitments, and retail ready design
• visual brand systems for multi product lines
Every detail matters.
Typography, spacing, colour, hierarchy, materials, finishes, durability.
The right decisions turn a product into a premium experience.
Designed for retail, even if you start online
Most packaging never makes it to a shelf unless it is retail ready.
My background in manufacturing and wholesale helps me design with:
• buyer expectations
• shelf impact
• category norms
• competitive sets
• production constraints
• real pricing structures
• realistic timelines
Even if you are launching online first, your packaging should be built for both worlds.
Who I work with
Product based brands that want clean, intentional, elevated design:
• luxury candle and fragrance lines
• grooming and beauty brands
• lifestyle and home goods
• founder led businesses
• brands preparing for wholesale or retail placement
• rebrands for product lines that have outgrown their look
If your product is strong, your packaging should match.
Why a micro studio beats an agency
No layers.
No juniors.
No waiting two weeks for an update.
You work directly with me every step of the way.
I bring design experience, production knowledge, and retail understanding together so your packaging looks beautiful and works exactly as it should. Clean, strategic, premium, and built with intention.
My process
Simple, clear, and collaborative:
Understand your product, category, and goals
Build a visual direction rooted in strategy
Design packaging that reflects your brand and market position
Refine and finalize details for production
Deliver files built for printers, manufacturers, or suppliers
Support you during printing so nothing gets lost in translation
No fluff, no mystery, no chaos.
Just packaging that positions your product properly.

Packaging Design for Product Based Brands
If your product is great but the packaging isn’t pulling its weight, we can fix that. I’m Nadine, founder of Bluedogz Design, a Montreal based micro design studio specializing in packaging design for product based businesses. With over 15 years of experience in graphic design, manufacturing, wholesale, and retail, I know how to create packaging that looks premium and actually performs in the real world.
Packaging is the first thing a customer sees.
It is your handshake, your positioning, your story, and your credibility.
It can make someone pick up your product, or make them walk right past it.
My job is to make sure they pick it up.
Packaging that looks good is nice. Packaging that sells is better.
I design packaging for brands that want to stand out on shelves, online, and everywhere in between. From luxury candle and fragrance brands to grooming, lifestyle, and wellness products, I create packaging that communicates value instantly.
Because packaging is more than decoration. It is strategy, psychology, and clarity.
