The Vision

When SHRM reached out to create gifts for a group of women in leadership, we knew this wasn’t just about sending a thank-you — it was about reflecting value, impact, and presence. This was post-holiday, and the goal was to avoid the predictable while still honoring the season. SHRM often partners with mainstream gift brands like Harry & David — so I knew the box had to instantly stand out, both visually and experientially. The goal? Create a look that says “Wow… they really saw me.”

The Design

We chose a sleek matte black box to anchor the experience — elegant, modern, and elevated. It served as the perfect canvas to layer navy and black (a nod to SHRM’s branding) while still feeling fresh and luxe. Instead of going overly festive, we created a tone that felt seasonally warm but timeless — honoring the new year, leadership, and self-reflection.
