Pero Designs — Interactive Experiences and Graphic Design

Earthlight Candle Co. combines nature-inspired candles with sustainable practices and a commitment to environmental conservation. Pero Designs developed a cohesive visual identity that extends across original wildlife illustrations, product packaging, apparel, mugs, and displays. The artwork celebrates the natural world while connecting the brand's products to its conservation mission. Printed handout cards provide a gateway to a custom interactive exhibit, where visitors can explore candle collections, learn about conservation partners, and browse wildlife-themed merchandise.

The United States Society on Dams (USSD) hosts its annual conference in a different city each year, with a new theme and tagline. Working collaboratively with the organization, Pero Designs interprets each theme through a distinctive visual identity, beginning with the conference logo and banner graphics. Materials have included entrance gateway signage, attendee badges, event programs, and animated graphics for hotel lobby screens. Each coordinated design system gives the conference its own character while creating a consistent visual experience throughout the event.

As GroovTube expanded beyond its original three scents, the company saw an opportunity to refresh its visual identity. Pero Designs redesigned the utilitarian logo and packaging with a more lively, expressive style that brings personality to the brand. The coordinated graphics establish consistency across product varieties while allowing each scent to maintain its own identity. The refreshed design extends across product labels, packaging, and retail displays.

Interactive maps make complex planning information more accessible, helping communities understand proposed changes to parks, public spaces, and urban environments. Custom-designed for each project, these maps present site context, existing conditions, constraints, and evolving design concepts in an intuitive, exploratory format.

They can support engagement from early planning through design development, with content updated as alternatives are evaluated and decisions are made. Links to larger public engagement platforms allow participants to share feedback through surveys and other tools. Projects produced with Design Workshop.

Nutritional information is often presented through tables and percentages that can feel abstract or difficult to interpret. This collection of interactive graphics takes a more playful approach, allowing visitors to select nutrients and watch familiar foods transform to represent their nutritional content.

Organic forms and repeating patterns suggest structures in natural systems, bold colors and layered forms create a sense of rhythm and motion. Each piece begins with original hand-drawn elements, digitally colored and arranged into dynamic compositions.
