I’m Laura

There's not many things I don't know when it comes to packaging.

My first ever role in 2012 was at a luxury packaging manufacturer. I then worked agency side til 2018, when I then founded Our Kind.

I now work 1:1 with motivated and bold startups or established brands who are on a mission to realise revolutionary, out of the ordinary brands that stand out in the sea of same.

I’ve built a highly profitable business using the power of product, positioning, and brand, serving cpg brands globally, from my spare room.

Now I’m going to help you pursue the same.

Vina's Review:

“It feels like all of my questions were answered. Your course has been an amazing learning experience for me.”

A+

The branding course freelancers who want more:

You're an experienced brand or web designer, who desires to integrate packaging design into your premium brand experience, the agency way.

You've always been obsessed with beautiful packaging; snapping photos of cute products, admiring branding in stores, and collecting well-designed boxes just because. But since you never worked in an agency, you feel like they’re missing key industry knowledge.

that's where I come in!

★ A clear, streamlined way to move from lower-ticket design work to premium branding and packaging projects.

★ You don’t want to feel like you're drowning in deliverables; you want meaningful work that excites you.

★ You want to attract the right clients who respect your expertise and are happy to invest.

★ You want to create more impactful work, co-creating with brands who understand how powerful products can be to help people live well every day.

where you are now:

what you want:

★ You've mastered the 1,2,3k branding project, but you want more. You struggle to confidently charge high-ticket prices and don’t know how to justify premium rates.

★You don’t want to keep working with small-budget clients, but you're don’t have the skills or conviction to attract bigger ones. (yet!)

★ You feel like you’re “just another designer” and lack the unique positioning to stand out.

★ When a product based business does come your way, you panic or price too low because you're not confident in the process (and a little fearful.)

Time to Flip the Script ↓

A potential client reaches out asking if you can design their brand and packaging, but instead of confidently saying yes, you hesitate, you're worried you’ll mess it up and you lack the right knowledge.

does this sound familiar?

From self-doubt → to industry-level confidence.
From winging it → to a proven, step-by-step process.
From leaving money on the table → to pricing premium rates with ease.
From feeling unqualified → to owning it like a pro.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I NEED TO BE A PACKAGING DESIGNER ALREADY?

Not at all! Some students have packaging experience and are here to refine their process and learn from an expert, whereas some students are totally new to packaging. As long as you have brand and graphic design experience, that’s all you need.


Do I have to complete the course in order?

No, you can open any module at any time and you do not have to pass a module to move on. 


Will there be live calls?

Live calls only happen with the 1-1 Mentorship route. Choose this route if you're looking for more help with building your studio from someone who's done it.

what's the difference between self study & 1-1? 

Self study means you'll be diving into the content at your leisure, at your own pace and without support from me or the community.

The group course means you'll consume the content at your leisure *and* then you'll also have ongoing support from me and the cohort community, where you can ask questions and submit your tasks for a personalised review. The group phase will go live in January to allow you time to watch the videos and come prepared with the tasks and questions. 

Do you teach how to draw dielines?

I don’t because the focus of the course is designing brands with a product at the center annnnd I do not believe that designers need to be involved this. Packaging design is so much more than dieline creation and my method doesn't require you to get caught in the weeds with this.


I live in the US, will it still be suitable?

Absolutely, the majority of students are US based and whilst I teach UK / EU regs I also share info for US, UK, AUS, NZ, SA, CA too. I have students from all over the world. Also note that this topic is one very small piece of the course, that covers way more overall.


how long will it take?

Videos vary from 7 minutes to 20. On average each module totals, 60-90 minute viewing time. I recommend watching 1 module per week but most students prefer to dip in and out, and watch the content at times when they need specific help. 

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes! Provided you've worked on branding and design in the past and are familiar with Illustrator. I wouldn't recommend this for total graphic design beginners however; you need some basics.

how long do i have access?

Course content will be available for 6 months, after which time you’ll be able to reenrol for a continued, small monthly fee. Please email me for details on this.

are refunds available?

Refunds are not available - please ensure you've read the Terms and Conditions of Sale before continuing. By purchasing, you are agreeing to these terms.
