Tassie Tallow is a premium, natural skincare and food-grade tallow brand sourced from grass-fed Tasmanian cattle. The goal of this project was to create an e-commerce experience that elevates a
traditionally “rustic” product into a refined, desirable, and trust-driven brand. This wasn’t just about selling products — it was about reframing perception.
Tallow sits in a unique category: Highly functional and nutrient-dense But often perceived as outdated or unrefined Requires education + trust before conversion The challenge was to: Modernise and premiumise the category Build instant trust and credibility Balance education with conversion
Repositioning Tallow as Luxury Wellness Rather than leaning into “farm-style” branding, the direction shifted toward: Clean beauty Wellness ritual Natural luxury This is reflected in: Soft, neutral tones Elevated typography Minimal, editorial-style layouts
We were asked to establish a new brand identity and website while using the limited imagery and logos they provided while they work to obtain new imagery. The aim was to create an experience that would be easier to navigate and reflect the words minimalist, clean and healing in the identity.
Visual Language
Earthy neutrals paired with deep green → signals nature + trust Warm tones → reinforce nourishment and richness Clean whitespace → creates a premium, breathable feel
Typography
Elegant serif for headings → authority and heritage Clean sans-serif for body → clarity and usability
Imagery Direction
Close-up textures (skin, product, food) → sensory appeal Lifestyle shots → aspiration + relatability Origin storytelling (Tasmania, farms) → authenticity
The site caters to two distinct user journeys:
The site caters to two distinct user journeys: Skincare consumers (beauty-led, emotional) Cooking/health consumers (functional, rational) The design separates these journeys visually while maintaining a cohesive brand system:
Skincare → soft, aspirational imagery
Cooking → rich, sensory, food-focused visuals
