Froya Haraldsen-Nodder, Co-founder

MORE WORK

Somehow Lara managed to capture what was in my head and make it even better.

Founder Froya came to us with a story rooted in burnout, recovery, and a return to the herbal wisdom she grew up with - foraging with her grandmother, then rediscovering plants during a health journey years later. Filling tea bags by hand at her dining table, she realised how many others were "borrowing energy from tomorrow." That's when the idea for Tonic & Root was born.

She asked us to shape a brand as grounded as that story: calm and rooted in tradition, without tipping into anything clinical or trend-led. We developed an identity built around earthy but bright tones, clean typography, and a modern touch.

Rather than building another tea brand, we built a House of Rituals - holding space for morning, midday, and evening moments, positioning Tonic & Root not around the product, but around the small, steadying rituals people return to, again and again, to feel like themselves.
