Quest Protein: Life’s Too Short for Bland.

​Quest Nutrition began in a small kitchen in 2010, with founders hand-rolling protein bars that aimed to redefine what healthy eating could be. They believed that nutrition should empower, not restrict, and set out to create snacks that were as delicious as they were nourishing.

  • Quest is one of the most recognizable names in high-protein, low-carb snacks—known for turning everyday cravings into functional food. The project focused on refining their packaging and visual language to better balance nutritional authority with indulgent appeal.

  • Art direction, graphic design, packaging system, and visual identity refinement, executed in partnership with Filebrand. Oversaw the creative process from concept through execution to ensure consistency across brand touchpoints.

  • Communicate Quest’s nutritional benefits (high protein, low sugar, low net carbs) without sacrificing the flavor-forward, crave-worthy feel that draws consumers in. The brand needed packaging that worked across SKUs, stood out on shelf, and reflected its place as both a performance brand and a pantry staple.

  • Directed a packaging system that highlighted key macros while dialing up sensory cues—melty textures, bold colors, and clear flavor signposting. Balanced functional information with visual indulgence, ensuring every wrapper told the story of better-for-you satisfaction. Built consistency across a growing product line without losing flexibility.

  • Helped reinforce Quest’s dominance in the functional snack space with packaging that converted both in-store and online. The refined visual language created stronger consumer recognition, improved shopability, and reinforced the brand’s identity as the go-to for guilt-free indulgence with real nutritional substance.
