Chuckanut Bay Cheesecake

Student packaging redesign concept

Brandon Thacker

Chuckanut Bay identity and ornamental pattern

Designed for the shelf and the hand.

I reconsidered a familiar cheesecake package through observation and physical iteration. The concept focuses on shelf recognition, opening and handling—three moments where packaging shapes how a product is noticed and experienced.

Material choices were a design intention; compostability was not certified.
