About the Project

Hush Bunnies Cafe is a fictional New York-based establishment that beautifully merges the world of specialty coffee with animal welfare. It serves as both a welcoming cafe for patrons to enjoy premium coffee and a dedi­cated space for rescue bunnies. Visitors have the heartwarming opportunity to interact with adoptable rabbits, fostering connections that often lead to forever homes. A portion of every coffee purchase directly funds the care and support of these rescue animals, embodying a mission to provide safe havens and second chances. It's a charming concept where every cup brews hope, creating a delightful and impactful community experience. The goal of the packaging design was to translate this heartfelt mission into visuals that feel comforting, ethical, playful, and community focused.

The Challenge

The main design challenge was to express the café’s dual identity premium coffee and animal rescue while keeping the tone warm, mature, and emotionally engaging. The goal was to convey compassion and “brewing hope” through visuals, maintaining strong brand consistency across all packaging formats.

The Solution

The final packaging design highlights the Hush Bunny characters as the emotional centerpiece, using warm colors, story-driven panels, and expressive illustrations to evoke comfort and compassion. Blending cuteness with purpose, it communicates that every sip helps save a life, resulting in packaging that feels meaningful, premium, and emotionally resonant.
