Zach Ardente: creative & art direction
Branding, web design, packaging and price books for Landmade, Crosswater, The Gas Station, Omi Health, ThriftCon and more. Click around my desk.
- Sorette Web Design: Web design for Sorette, an online shop for pregnancy, mom and baby safe products. No template cookie-cutter woes. Initial mockups inside.
- Nitro Bar Merch Concepts: Hoodies, hats and crewnecks for Nitro Bar, Providence's locally famous coffee. Pitched for Head of Merch, didn't land it. Still some of my best work.
- ThriftCon x ComplexCon Posters: Posters for ThriftCon's areas at ComplexCon 2026, so well received they're being used as the event signage too. Look mom! Clout!!
- The Gas Station Branding, Rutland VT: Branding for a dispensary in an old 50s Texaco station in Rutland, VT. Retro gas-station vibe, modern and fresh. Super proud of where this one landed.
- Omi Health Branding & Website: Modernizing pet healthcare: a quick wordmark, a textured gradient palette, posters and a website that grew up with the brand. I'm a sucker for my dog.
- Chambord Logo Refresh: Modernizing a seriously dated logo for Chambord fireclay farm sinks at Forte Brands. No, not the booze. The sinks. Still recognizable. Done.
- Landmade Branding & Price Book: Branding, photoshoot, price book, website and finishes box for Landmade's 100% recyclable bathtubs at Forte Brands. One of my proudest designs.
- Colorblock Logo & Branding: Branding for Colorblock, a creative coworking startup: where creatives go to turn nothing into something. Sometimes simplicity is the only way.
- Them Logo Process: A peek into my process: logo explorations for Them, a genderless clothing line my partner and I started with a pair of jeans. Which do you prefer?
- Crosswater Photoshoot & Price Book: A $500 DIY faucet photo studio, a pitched brand refresh and a cleaner 400-page price book for Crosswater at Forte Brands. Pretty good ROI, right?
- Bent Tree Logo & Packaging: Pot + 90s skate nostalgia + Vermont nature: a logo and pre-roll packaging for a friend's grow, built around his favorite tree. I'd buy this pre-roll.
