Branding and packaging designer Daniela Barrio de Mendoza<\/a> has a little thing called point of view. <\/em>It\u2019s clear from a quick scroll through her website<\/a> that the Lima, Peru native who studied packaging design in Barcelona and currently lives and works in New Zealand has a spunky yet sophisticated, bold yet controlled aesthetic that\u2019s informed by this multicultural background. She calls it \u201ceclectic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we think about an \u2018eclectic design,\u2019 we think about texture and patterns and colors and typography all mixing together, but always cohesively with an intention and with control,\u201d Barrio de Mendoza explains. \u201cBecause of my Latin roots, maybe, I\u2019m explosive with colors, and I can be more chaotic, but when we talk about brands, that\u2019s when I have to create a balance between all the elements.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a minimalist designer, obviously,\u201d she adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
