Design a mural for CBD Kratom’s SoHo location (161 6th Ave, New York, NY) that celebrates the healing power of cannabis and Kratom while visually aligning with the brand's nature-inspired ethos. The piece needed to reflect the company’s commitment to wellness, incorporate recognizable botanical elements, and create a welcoming, immersive in-store atmosphere—all while being visible and engaging from the street.

This was one of my first major projects at the company—and my very first time drawing on an iPad. I used Procreate to hand-draw the mural, infusing it with a childlike sense of joy and curiosity. The artwork was later scaled into a crisp EPS graphic for large-format printing.

Key design elements included:

• Hemp & Kratom leaves, to symbolize the natural foundation of the products.

• Wildlife and nature motifs like birds and trees, highlighting the harmony between humans and the natural world.

• Product illustrations, thoughtfully woven into the design to showcase the brand’s diverse offerings.

• A green, black, and white color palette that tied directly into CBD Kratom’s branding while keeping the composition clean and calming.

The final mural became a standout feature wall at the SoHo store, visible to passersby and inviting customers into a wellness-focused environment. It not only enhanced the in-store atmosphere but also served as a visual representation of CBD Kratom’s core values. The mural continues to engage customers, spark curiosity, and function as a social media-friendly backdrop that boosts brand visibility.

For me personally, this project marked a meaningful milestone—blending my love for drawing with large-scale brand storytelling and seeing my work come to life in a public, tangible way.
