Minimal monochrome visuals, bold typography, and soft gradients for a new audio brand. I designed the full identity, packaging system, and campaign visuals for

Oasis Audio approached me at the pre-launch stage with a clear vision: to position themselves as the refined alternative in a crowded headphone market. The challenge was to create a brand system that felt premium without being pretentious, and minimal without being cold. I developed a complete visual language built around high contrast, precise typography, and gradient-based motion graphics. The identity system included logo suite, brand guidelines, packaging design for three product lines, e-commerce assets, and launch campaign materials. We kept the palette strictly monochrome with strategic uses of soft glow effects to suggest 'afterglow' moments in

A tactile, almost analog-feeling product identity for a digital-first brand. Clean product renders, precise iconography, and a flexible layout

Dune Devices wanted to bring back the joy of focused listening in an age of distraction. Their portable music player needed a brand identity that honored analog tactility while embracing digital precision. I built a system around geometric simplicity, restrained color (black, white, one accent), and ultra-clear iconography. The identity translated seamlessly across contexts: sleek product renders for their site, embossed packaging details for retail, and modular UI components for their app interface. I also developed a comprehensive brand book and asset library so their internal

Creative Direction • Packaging •Creating a sense of calm and luxury through airy photography and quiet typographic systems. We repositioned the brand for the North Photography Packaging Design

Subtle, light-driven photography and a quiet typographic system to position Opal as a calm, trustworthy skincare brand. Deliverables includedcommerce visuals.

Opal came to me with a clear ask: their skincare line was gentle, effective, and ingredient-focused, but their visual identity felt generic and overlooked. I redesigned everything from the ground up, starting with a new logotype that felt softer and more considered. The photography direction emphasized natural light and minimal styling—no aggressive shadows or clinical backdrops. I designed a label system that worked across multiple product formats (bottles, tubes, jars) while keeping a unified look. Typography was kept quiet and elegant, letting the imagery breathe. We also created a full suite of e-commerce assets, including lifestyle photography,
