CREATING + COLLABORATING
EMPOWER BODYCARE

As the cannabis industry began to take shape in Oregon, I joined Empower BodyCare, founded by Trista Okel, who developed topicals to alleviate her mother's pain.
The experience at Empower was remarkable. The product line expanded from oils to salts then lotions, gaining traction in both cannabis-focused retailers and mainstream stores such as New Seasons and Nordstrom. Empower was also featured in several magazines and a published book.
I was excited to contribute to various initiatives, including packaging design, marketing materials, brochures, informational sheets, and photography.

Karina has a great eye for design and created many innovative designs for our company from packaging to brochures to one sheets.
