You want your packaging
to be as polished as your brand, but…

Wrong Talent

It’s hard to find talent that “gets it” – someone who knows the prestige market and can add to your brand in the right way.

Delays

Delays with deadlines caused by slow turnaround times, endless meetings, and stop-and-start processes.

Brand Inconsistencies

Struggle to maintain brand consistency across different product lines.


Budget

Budget is a barrier to competing in the luxury market. Agencies and qualified freelancers are out of your price range. And you need smart design to stretch a modest budget.

Lack of Knowledge

You are paying for unnecessary added costs due to a lack of proper packaging knowledge.

MONIKA KIM
Founder & Principal

Sculptor, visual storyteller, and designer of experiences. I love solving complex 3-dimensional problems. In my professional career, I spent over 25 exciting years launching products and collaborating with amazing global prestige brands. But as a consumer, I got frustrated, maybe even annoyed, seeing too many really great brands with not-so-great packaging. So I created Happy Medium to prove that stunning design can be accessible, affordable, and even easy. By streamlining operations, I keep costs reasonable without ever compromising quality. I'm here to put more beautiful things into the world. Let's create something amazing together!

  • "She not only solves design problems with an elevated eye but through a consumer lens, which is critical and impactful. She is an absolute pleasure to work with."

    Amy D. , Founder, AD & Co

  • “...skilled and detail-oriented designer and typographer, with a strength for approaching packaging systems with a holistic eye. And always comes to the table with beautiful ideas!”
