EMBRACE YOUR INNER HIPPIE!
Three Vines is an overarching parent company I created that offers both products and services centered around the beautiful fusion of art, music, and nature. The idea began while I was researching PlantWave, a device that translates a plant's biorhythms into music. The resulting products from Three Vines aim to cultivate a stronger connection with the natural environment by incorporating art and music. These products include: the device itself, sustainably-made alcohol, vinyl records of plant music, and second-hand apparel.
To complement this vision, I conceptualized a greenhouse bar, where customers can enjoy plant-themed beverages while immersing themselves in art exhibitions, yoga and meditation sessions, and various other events that take place at the bar.
Additionally, sustainability was a key consideration in every creation, ensuring that each element was as eco-friendly as possible.
Each illustration and artwork used in the following designs were of own my creation.
GREENHOUSE BAR
The poster on the left is for a fictional art exhibition with the concept of Biophilia. Biophilia suggests that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life. I personally photographed the image of the woman and the plants and created the composite in photoshop.
The flyer on the right is for Yoga and Meditation and I wanted to depict a plant person in a meditation pose.
Plant people are characters I created and are used frequently throughout the brand imagery.
Further design elements I created include a gift card and the packaging for hard seltzers for the plant bar. For the gift card, I drew plant people playing music to tie in the idea of the device which allow people to listen to their plant's making music.
For the seltzers, I wanted them to come in glass bottles because glass is infinitely recyclable. The illustration features the same snail found throughout my designs along with bright colors that best represent the flavors.
This is a 24" x 30" laser-engraved illustration on wood, featuring specific circles that have been cut and are designed to be removable, functioning as coasters for the bar. This decorative piece serves as both functional art and a puzzle piece. After using the coaster, the customer can easily place it back into the art piece, which is equipped with magnetic backing.
The illustration depicts a bar scene with plant people drinking, playing music, and simply enjoying nature. Below are detail-shots of the illustration.

The packaging design is for the device that creates music from the plant's biorhythms. The front is an artistic design illustrating a girl wearing headphones hanging upside down from a leaf. One recurring design element throughout is the snail on the mushroom. The challenge in crafting the packaging lay in designing for an object that is not widely recognized or understood by many. I wanted the design to be eye-catching to draw the consumer in and learn more about the product.
The side of the box explains the company's mission and objective. The back of the box explains how the device works and the possible uses.
The idea for the shirt displayed above was to screen-print a coloring book page onto it, transforming it into functional art. This concept encourages individuals to appreciate nature's beauty and craft a one-of-a-kind shirt that reflects their uniqueness while intertwining two of the key parts of the brand: art and nature.
All shirts created for this project were second- hand in order to be as sustainable as possible.
The above design is a vinyl record sleeve for a fictional album of plant music. I also designed the circular sticker label for the vinyl record itself. The design is showing fractals found in nature with overlapping psychedelic colors to match the mood of the music.
