Mimies, Brand Identity & Packaging

Mimies is a gifting brand I founded, designed and grew myself. It makes custom photo playing cards and a screen-free digital film camera. The brand is built around nostalgia and capturing real moments, with an identity that feels warm, personal and made to be gifted.

About Mimies

To build a brand from scratch that turns people's photos into keepsakes worth giving. It needed to feel emotional and premium without being twee, stand out in a crowded gifting market and connect with Gen Z and young millennials on social first.

The design

  • A timeless identity: a deep red and cream palette with an elegant serif wordmark, giving the brand a nostalgic, heirloom feel that still looks modern online.

  • Packaging made for gifting: [card box / tuck box details, e.g. foil logo, rigid box, unboxing moment] designed so the gift feels special before it's even opened.

  • A product family: the identity stretches from custom playing cards to the Mimies Digital Film Camera, with its signature red pebbled finish, so every product reads as one brand.

  • Built for social: a visual system designed to work in scroll-stopping content, launches and limited-edition drops on TikTok and Instagram.

The results

  • Customers in three markets: sold across the UK, US and Australia/New Zealand.

  • Limited-edition drops: colourways of the camera launched as limited-edition releases.

  • [Optional] Peak sales: $100K+ months during peak gifting seasons.
