Captain's Log:
Wormfood was a chance to pair my fascination of the morbid with something more practical. It is a fashion brand for the damned, and an end of life plan for the young.
Over the last few years I have been learning the trade and honing my craft. Each step of the way pushing myself to make more informed and thoughtful decisions about what I’m making. Wormfood is the culmination of my learning and brings together the lessons I have learnt both in and out of the classroom.
In the slide deck below, I discuss Wormfood’s function, the gap in the market it fulfils, and the branding decisions that bring it to life. The subject matter is pretty grisly; all the more reason to have fun with it.
