CINDER COFFEE — PACKAGING, 2025

Cinder came in with flat product shots. Art direction is the difference — drag the line.

WHAT I DO

  1. 01

    Brand identity

    Name to system: logotype, palette, voice, and the rules that keep it sharp after I leave.

    LogotypeGuidelinesPackaging
  2. 02

    Web design

    Sites that read like editorial and convert like retail. Designed in the browser, shipped fast.

  3. 03

    Art direction

    Campaigns and shoots with one idea carried all the way through — casting to crop.

    Editorial design

    Magazines, catalogues, annual reports — long-form pages people actually finish.

ABOUT

Design is deciding what not to show.

Ria Hossain is a designer working between identity, web and editorial. Eight years, six industries, one rule: if the work needs explaining, it isn't finished. Based in Dhaka, hired everywhere.

PROCESS

  1. 01

    Listen

    Two conversations before a single pixel. The brief writes itself if you pay attention.

  2. 02

    Distill

    One idea per project. Everything that doesn't serve it gets cut.

  3. 03

    Craft

    Type, grid, image — tuned until it looks inevitable.

  4. 04

    Ship

    On time, with the files, and a system you can grow.

KIND WORDS

Ria cut our brief in half and the result said twice as much. The site paid for itself in a month.
