Just Dandy

Branding, Package Design
& Illustration

Just Dandy is the youthful, college-age furniture line from James Dar, created to make stylish, well-crafted home furnishings approachable and fun. Designed for first apartments, dorms, and small spaces, the line emphasizes modularity, accessibility, and a friendly sense of personality.

I developed the full brand identity, packaging system, and supporting illustrations to capture the spirit of ease and optimism that defines the collection.

The visual direction used updated takes on mid-century modern stylings, bright color palette, and playful line work to suggest that furnishing your space isn’t a chore — it’s an act of self-expression.

Individual pieces of the furniture line were created as illustrations to show that bringing in a new piece of furniture
could feel like welcoming in a new friend.
