Whether you’re launching in a legal state or navigating the complexities of the traditional market, my expertise ensures that your packaging will be both compliant and creative, saving you time and money.
Why Packaging Matters
Cannabis packaging is the first physical interaction your customers have with your product. It needs to communicate your brand’s values, meet state-specific regulations, and stand out on crowded shelves.

Non-Regulated Cannabis Packaging Designs
The cannabis landscape is complex, with both licensed and non-licensed markets coexisting in various states. In addition to working with fully licensed and compliant brands, I also offer packaging design and branding services to non-licensed and pre-licensed cannabis businesses, including those in the emerging Delta 8 space. The "trap" market refers to the underground or gray-market cannabis industry, which thrives in non-licensed or less-regulated states where cannabis is still illegal or the regulations are vague. I understand the nuances of these markets and offer creative packaging solutions for both traditional THC and Delta 8 products, even in states where cannabis isn't fully legalized.
Whether you're in the pre-licensing phase or operating in the non-traditional market, I bring the same attention to detail and creativity that I offer licensed brands, helping you develop packaging that stands out while maintaining discretion. This includes custom designs that reflect your brand’s ethos while navigating legal grey areas, ensuring that your products have a strong shelf presence.

The SMALL Print About My Cannabis Packaging Design Services: It's All About The Details.
With the rapid expansion of the cannabis industry and growing legalization, my time has become more selective. While I’d love to collaborate with everyone, that’s just not feasible. I’m upfront: I’m not the cheapest option. However, I’m far more affordable than many of the "cannabis niche design agencies" that are popping up—agencies that often outsource your work to the lowest bidder. When you choose to work with me, you're partnering with a real artist who has an in-depth, proven understanding of market trends and the ever-changing regulatory landscape.
I personally handle every aspect of your project, ensuring you communicate directly with me—no outsourcing, no middlemen. If I connect with you and believe in your product, I’ll work within your budget while giving your brand the attention it truly deserves. Want to start a conversation? Use the link below. However, if you're looking for a quick and cheap solution, there are plenty of options for that out there. My focus is on working with those who are serious about building long-term brand value, seeking genuine shelf appeal in an increasingly competitive and saturated market.
With over 25 years of experience in the cannabis industry, I’ve had the honor of being the Branding Expert on the "How to Start a Cannabis Business in California" panel at the High Times Business Summit. I also served as Creative Director for the "Yes on CC" campaign that helped legalize medical cannabis in Santa Ana, CA, and organized the very first cannabis-permitted event in California. This opened the doors for iconic events like the Cypress Hill Smokeout and Cannabis Cups to allow consumption. Cannabis is more than my work—it’s my passion.
