Mark Hazel Brand and packaging designer

I've spent 25+ years developing and managing brand creative for consumer packaged goods — as an agency designer, an art director, a creative department head, and since 2011 as Brandpack Studio. Clients range from first-time founders to nationally distributed brands.

I'm fluent in package manufacturing. I work directly with printers, decorators, bottle suppliers and packaging engineers, so what you approve on screen is what shows up on the pallet.

My studio is in the historic Stutz building in downtown Indianapolis. I stay current by going to the shows, here and abroad — F.U.S.E., PackExpo, PRINT, Cosmoprof and Design March Iceland. If you run into me at one, tap me on the shoulder and I'll buy you a beer.

Herron School of Art graduate and AIGA member. I drink copious amounts of iced coffee, love all things Nordic, and yes, bad kerning keeps me up at night.

A few [gushing] reviews from clients

“Mark is an exceptional designer and a great communicator. Mark designed a new packaging range for us, and the look will stay current for years to come. Mark thinks so much bigger than 'just design' – he has weaved a story into our packaging for us… I love the way he works and appreciated being part of his process. Can't wait to work with him again.”
– A. Muir from New Zealand

“We found our guy! Mark took our existing labels, graphics and branding and created a new, professional, retail-ready replacement. His background is broad, he is professionally candid, a great listener with a fantastic vision for quality. Mark made our mediocre brand into something we're very proud of now – he won't disappoint!”
– J. Holloway from Tampa, Florida

“I cannot say enough good things about Mark! You will not regret working with him. He is very honest about his hours and you can always depend on his advice. He has awesome contacts in the industry and we could not have done our project without him!”
– M. Andes from Bellingham, Washington
