Hermit is a small-batch, well-being essential brand made with the best ingredients to unwind, recharge and settle in. Founded by Erin Josephy in 2019, Hermit was born from an appreciation of some good, quality alone time. Female-owned and operated business, these locally made products are vegan, small batch, and all-natural.

Erin and I have worked together for a number of years, and have worked on various projects together, including her awarding winning wellness brand Kismet Essentials. Her strong sense of design and a mutual love for minimalism has continued throughout our working relationship – a win/win.

Since 2010, Creative Director Laura Prpich has developed strategic, award-winning designs and partnered with clients both large and small across various industries and sectors.
She believes in helping businesses at every step of the way – from aligning inspiration, to creating business goals and objectives that turn brands into powerful story-telling experiences.

Her passion for sustainability in design has evolved throughout her career and forced her to think critically about her role and responsibility as a designer. Laura’s primary focus with any project is to guide clients through the necessary steps to help reduce their environmental impact without compromising the integrity of the design.

“By using nature as a model, mentor, and measure, I look at the intended function of design: focusing less on the WHAT and more on the HOW when I problem-solve. I’ve used my experience as a designer and working with amazing brands to educate my clients on how to choose a greener solution for their business.”
