CLIENT
Asbury Park Sea Salt is a small-batch sea salt company founded by local entrepreneur Danielle Hickson. Inspired by her deep connection to the Jersey Shore, Danielle hand-harvests seawater from the beaches of Asbury Park and transforms it into artisanal finishing salts through a meticulous evaporation process. Each batch is carefully crafted to capture the character of the coastline and bring a taste of the shore to the table.

Asbury Park Sea Salt was built around a simple idea: creating a product that truly feels like Asbury Park. Working closely with founder Danielle, we developed a brand identity and packaging system inspired by the city's historic architecture, local landmarks, and the flowing decorative forms of Art Nouveau design.
The custom logotype was drawn from scratch, taking cues from the signage and architectural details found throughout Asbury Park. The illustrated logo icon, a woman’s face wich was inspired by the mermaid sculptures of the historic carousel building, serves as a visual nod to the city's seaside culture and artistic history. Architectural illustrations featured throughout the packaging further connect the product to the place it calls home.
By weaving together local iconography and handcrafted typography, the final design creates a strong sense of place, allowing residents and visitors alike to recognize Asbury Park's character in every package. The result is a brand identity that feels both nostalgic and contemporary while remaining unmistakably tied to the community that inspired it.
