Plant-based, compostable straws don’t have to suck.
Anu Drinkware - you heard it right ladies & gents, “a new” type of drinkware that’s safe for the environment & doesn’t get soggy like a paper straw.
The Anu team came to Hardy Brands in need of naming and branding their new creation. They wanted to intertwine illustrations into their packaging and branding that were playful and diverse in all ages who could use this product - example: grandma’s drinking martini’s from their wheelchair. The patterns, characters, and icons that I illustrated reflect the exciting and friendly ANU drinkware.
A DIRTY LOVE STORY
THE REAL ORIGIN STORY
Lydia the earthworm wasn’t looking for a serious long-term relationship. Stew the ANU Straw fit the bill—he only had 120 days until he’d fully biodegrade in the compost pile near the flower bed. Lydia enjoyed his earth-friendly and non-toxic behavior and dirty jokes until he went away, leaving only fertile soil and beautiful flowers to remember him by. So maybe it’s not the world’s greatest love story but, hey, we’re all at least a little flawed.
