Kr Palace Cosmetic Packaging Design
Kr Palace is a skincare packaging project developed for J and T Traders Co., a San Jose–based client working with COSMAX, a South Korean cosmetics manufacturer.
My role involved designing and refining product packaging while collaborating directly with both the U.S. client and the Korean manufacturing team. Throughout the process, I navigated language barriers, technical production requirements, and multiple design revisions to prepare the packaging artwork for production.

Product Context
Kr Palace is a skincare brand with a range of products, including cream and emulsion. The packaging I designed was for the outer carton. The container design, logo, and product graphics were developed separately by the client and manufacture
The Challenge
Creating premium cosmetic packaging required balancing the brand's elegant visual identity with technical printing specifications. Working with a San Jose–based client and COSMAX in South Korea added complexity through language barriers, different communication workflows, and multiple rounds of design revisions.
The Solution
I developed and refined packaging layouts using consistent typography, ornamental patterns, and a rich burgundy-and-gold color palette to establish a luxurious appearance.
Through direct communication with the client and COSMAX, I incorporated production feedback, adjusted packaging artwork, and used visual references and dielines to support clear communication across language barriers.
