Eco at Heart

A brand identity championing a new range of plastic-free and zero-waste lifestyle products.

Eco at Heart creates beautifully designed reusable and environmentally-friendly products. A trip to Bali left brand founders Stu and Davina feeling shocked at the amount of plastic-covered beaches they encountered. They later learnt that Indonesia is the second-largest (after China) contributor of pollutants in the ocean and it was evident that single-use plastics, particularly straws – were the most problematic items.

Eco at Heart was born with the mission to boycott plastic and first launched with a range of stainless steel straws. Quickly following with bamboo make-up remover pads and organic cotton produce bags – ensuring every product is reusable. We designed plastic-free and zero-waste packaging, using only recyclable papers and plant-based inks.

With the ocean providing the main visual inspiration behind the brand, we took references from the coastline to develop the identity system. I created a series of watermark patterns to convey the organic essence of the business and convey a feeling of calm with soft shapes and natural textures.
