Refer a Product Founder to Hidden Path Creative

If you're here, chances are you know a founder who’s doing incredible things with their product… but their packaging just isn't keeping up.

Maybe they're DIYing it, prepping for retail, or stuck choosing between boxes and pouches. That’s where I come in.

Most of my best clients are referrals—from consultants, coaches, strategists, and service providers like you who know the power of great design and want their clients to succeed. I’m grateful for every single one.

Who I Work With:

Send folks my way if they’re:

• A product-based business owner (especially in food, beauty, wellness, or gifts)

• Launching a new product or getting ready for retail, Amazon, or wholesale

• Feeling stuck with their current packaging or brand visuals

• Looking to upgrade from “this works for now” to “this is what sells it”

What I Help With

Hidden Path Creative offers:

• Strategic brand & packaging design that looks great and drives conversions

• Packaging systems for scaling—labels, boxes, pouches, kits

• Retail and Amazon–ready packaging that meets compliance and shelf-readiness

• Creative direction + design production support so your client doesn’t have to guess

Whether your person needs a full design system or just a clear path forward, I’ll help them understand what’s possible—and how to get there.

If you're not sure who to refer, block 15 minutes on your calendar and:

Even one referral can lead to a huge transformation for their business, and I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of.
