I designed this custom Nalgene bottle created to support the Nalgene Water Fund—an initiative focused on expanding access to clean water across underserved communities in the U.S., including Appalachia.
The challenge was to create something that felt true to Nalgene’s legacy while carrying a deeper sense of purpose. I developed a design that balances bold, outdoor-ready aesthetics with subtle storytelling using color, composition, and graphic elements to reflect both the brand’s adventurous spirit and the impact behind the product. Each bottle serves as more than just a functional object; it’s a vehicle for awareness and contribution, with proceeds directly supporting clean water projects.
From concept through final execution, I focused on creating a piece that people would not only use daily, but also feel connected to, transforming a simple water bottle into a meaningful extension of the brand and its mission to make clean water more accessible.
