A female-owned and family-operated oyster company in Virginia.
Matheson Oyster Co. prioritizes conducting all sectors of their business in the most sustainable way possible. All of the oysters are grown in Sarah’s hometown of Gloucester, VA in the Mobjack Bay.
The company was started as an homage to Sarah’s parents who left behind the lasting impression of taking care of the planet, the community, and each other. They’re a constant reminder of the mission and what guides Sarah & Eric in life & business. And this exact mission was the main driver behind all the designs.

Packaging Design
The goal was to capture the ambiance of enjoying oysters by the water through detailed illustrations of the surrounding environment— with a focus on local flora—while avoiding being so literal with oyster imagery. The design aimed to immerse customers in the scene, creating a memorable experience that reflects the serene and picturesque setting of oyster consumption. Sarah & Eric also wanted it to stand out from the sea of ordinary oyster boxes cluttering the back of restaurant kitchens.
Website Design
We aimed to showcase the oysters while immersing users in the coastal experience, creating a connection that brings the sea—and its bounty—right to their fingertips.
