April Kalix-Cattell

24-page holiday catalog booklet for corporate gifting. My responsibilities included art direction on photoshoots, prop styling, organization of archive photos, layout of print pieces, communication with departments for final sign-off, and coordination with print vendor for final production and delivery.

Creation of full packaging suite for Tatte Catering. The focus was on developing custom, upscale, and refined packaging, currently used in four catering locations. I worked with a production vendor to prototype and finalize the box designs, which needed to be functional, beautiful, but still easy to store and put together. The suite includes lidded boxes in three sizes, with a debossed logo on the top as well as a custom lunch box with corded handles. A complimentary set of labels, bottles, cartons, and branded bags were also designed and produced as part of this project.

Photoshoots for seasonal menu changes, retail products, catering, and dinner offerings. Responsibilities include creation of shot list, coordination with photographers and models, communication with savory & bakery innovation teams, art direction including prop and food styling, curation & editing of final images.

Samples of labeling projects, providing full nutrition, ingredient, and allergen information for all retail products. Starting in 2023, Tatte needed to update all of their packaging to comply with FDA nutritional regulations. This required the creation or redesign of nutritional insert cards, holiday sleeves for cookie assortments, labels for bottled juices, packaged cookies and more.

Responsibilities include research on nutrition panel formatting and sizing, coordination with vendors on materials and costing, design of materials, and oversight of final production and distribution.

Design and creation of weekly email newsletters. Content includes seasonal menu offerings, holiday special orders, community updates, interviews, and links to behind the scenes essays. Responsibilities include managing the brand content calendar based on seasonal strategic goals, copy & image editing, creating drafts in Figma for team review, building final newsletters for deployment via Mailchimp.
