From Packaging Designer to Brand Manager. Two years at B-WAY, in three countries.

I joined as a Product Designer doing packaging and die-cuts. Nine months later I was Brand Manager, leading a 5-person team for the US, Brazil and Argentina. I built the Shopify stores, ran Meta Ads and email, trained the brand educators and designed our stands for Barber Week.

The problem

One brand, three countries

B-WAY makes tools for barbers. The brand needed packaging, online stores, campaigns and events. And all of it had to work in the US, Brazil and Argentina. I started on the packaging. Every few months I took on something new: social media, e-commerce, campaigns, educators, events. Nine months in, I was promoted to Brand Manager.

Where it started: the full B-WAY packaging line

Four stages in two years.

Each stage added new work on top of the last one. First packaging, then the online stores, then campaigns, then events and the team. By the end I was leading the team that handled all of it.

Where I Started

Packaging & Social Media

I started with the packaging for the full product line and the brand's social media posts. I worked directly with the factory in China, from die-cut approval to the final print.

At the Events

Events & Trade Shows

I designed and organized our stands at Barber Week in Buenos Aires and in Brazil, and trained the brand educators who worked them.

Every box the brand shipped.

I designed the packaging for every B-WAY product line: die-cuts, inside prints and retail boxes. I worked directly with the factory in China from die-cut approval to the final print run. I also oversaw every product launch from my first day until I left at the end of 2025, so the whole line looked like one brand in all three markets.
