The client, Jordan, envisioned a classic, but cool & edgy logo that will help the brand build a strong online presence and grow a customer base outside the local community.
To support memorability and build brand recognition, I created a logo that plays on the brand’s name and tagline.
Once the main logo was settled upon, the concept was expanded with secondary and tertiary marks, three wordmarks, a monogram, and a pictorial mark.
Having such a wide selection of logo variations to choose from, the brand can achieve consistency without being repetitive and have a logo suitable for any context, including stamping on products.")

The client envisioned an impactful logo that helps the business gain brand recognition by steering clear of stereotypical automotive-themed logos.
The concept I came up with is based around a koi fish and bold, boxy typography. It celebrates the owners’ Japanese heritage and resonates with the predominantly male target audience.
As the detailing services offered by Black Label DS are premium by nature, we decided on a simple but effective color palette of black, white, and red.")

The client, Michelle, envisioned a vintage design that features star-crossed lovers.
We explored a more antique approach for the graphic at first with the sun & moon as lovers, but landed on an edgy 70s feel with galactic elements. To enhance the vibe further, I crafted chunky, groovy type.
For the colors, we went for a palette that helps Mythic Films strongly differentiate from the competition and position itself as an alternative for couples who aren't into cliché weddings.
Once the main logo was finalized, I developed it into a full logo suite. Now Mything Films has a logo variation suitable for any context (social media, print, website, etc.), as well as merch designs.")

TOLA (The Other LA) aims to be an intimate space for artists that fosters deep connections and fruitful opportunities.
The client envisioned a classic logo that has a strong heritage element and features a palm tree - the symbol of peace and victory.
I created a hand-drawn combination mark that conveys old-world charm and casual luxury.
To enhance the feel even further, we stuck with a black & white color palette and picked a display font that’s a contemporary rendition of medieval-style typography.")

The client, Kassina, felt that Hello Norden’s existing logo was in disconnect from the brand’s identity and that it didn’t sufficiently convey brand character.
She envisioned a logo that combines Dada, vintage apothecary, and rock & roll influences. The goal was to communicate that HN is an unconventional brand that offers high-quality heirloom goods that are luxurious without pretension.
We created an intricate vintage emblem inspired by Art Nouveau & the Arts and Crafts movement, but with an edgy/biker twist.
The color palette is based around d
dark, but warm and muted fall tones.
For the type, we chose a bold, distressed display font and paired it with a hand-drawn script and a typewriter-style font.")

The client envisioned a classic, masculine logo that plays on the brand's name and clearly shows what it’s all about.
I came up with a concept that combines a Phoenix and a can*abis leaf. To ensure the logo resonates with both young and mature audiences, I opted for a traditional drawing style.
The color palette is simple yet striking to support the brand’s rebellious personality. For the typography, we decided on a bold sans serif and a hand-lettered script inspired by 1930s ads.
Once the main logo was finalized, we developed it into a responsive logo system with logo variations, wordmarks, and submarks suitable for different contexts - website, social media, packaging, merch, etc.")

The client, Ksenia, reached out to me for a set of hand-drawn graphics that capture Oyster Fruit Studio’s fun, feminine energy.
They provided me with a bunch of lines, prompts, and reference images to work with which streamlined the process and made it super enjoyable.
We ended up with six graphics: a three-eyed tiger, a sassy smoking joint, a hand holding an oyster, a pair of cherries, a goblet glass, and a retro disco ball.")

The client, Andrew, envisioned a classic, masculine logo that will attract people looking for a vacation spot in nature where they can enjoy ample outdoor activities and farm-to-table food.
I created an organic, earthy design that features two pine trees, the sun, and a stream that flows near the residence. The overall style is vintage, but clean and professional, with hand-drawn type that amplifies the welcoming, warm feel.
The primary color palette consists of pine green and muted orange to instantly communicate that Haven Haus is located near the forest, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery.
Once the master logo was finalized, we expanded the concept with a set of 8 logo variations and submarks - badges, wordmarks, and monograms for use in different online & offline contexts.")

The client envisioned a simple, youthful design that shows off the brand's character and what they're all about.
I created a combination mark that features hand-drawn illustrations of a bandit with a handkerchief mask and two crossed pens.
The graphic is accompanied by simple, modern sans-serif type and a secondary, typewriter-style font.")

The client, Carri, envisioned a youthful logo that stands out from today’s minimal aesthetic. The design needed to evoke friendliness and approachability, but without undermining professionalism and authority.
I came up with a logo suite based around the raised fist and an ink pen, with variations suitable for different contexts. All of the illustrations and type are hand-drawn, and orange was chosen as the main color as it symbolizes freedom and determination.
Then we moved on to Social Media Visuals: avatars, banners, and post templates for Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook designed to increase brand recognition and support the brand message.
This was my first time working with a fellow designer (UX) on brand identity and it was such a pleasure! Plus, as a psychologist and sociologist, I personally support what the brand is all about – social justice.")

The client envisioned a design inspired by Arches National Park.
I came up with a simple, but intricate, desert-themed design, focused on an emblem featuring the “Delicate Arch”. Other elements include scorpions, snakes, cacti, cattle skulls, the sun, and the moon, as well as simple flourishes.
The color palette is bivariate and based around red/burnt orange and a warm tan. The type is a simple, hand-drawn sans serif that naturally fits into the design.")

The client wanted a flexible brand identity that would stand out on the shelf which we achieved with an esoteric approach, celestial green hue & playful “witchy” details – ravens, moons & clocks.
The design was awarded in 2021 by 99designs in the category of Best Branding Design.")
