Description

Universal Yums brings unique foods and flavors from around the world straight to your door. Their flagship product is a subscription box loaded with snacks from a different country each month. Not only does it provide a novel and fun-filled opportunity to explore different cultures, but it is also an exciting experience to share with the whole family.

As in-house graphic designer, I prepared product images for the online shop and in-box materials such as printed booklets and promotional inserts. To assist the marketing team’s efforts, I designed graphics that included but were not limited to: static and motion graphics for paid ads, email templates, email opt-in popups, social media posts, and video end cards. Working together with our compliance team, I also helped international food suppliers redesign their snack packages to ensure they met Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements.
