About

I’m a multidisciplinary brand and graphic designer helping businesses build memorable brands through thoughtful visual identity, editorial, digital, and motion design.

I’ve worked across industries ranging from tech and hospitality to culture, automotive, and non-profit, creating everything from brand identities and campaigns to editorial design, illustration, social content, and motion.

I enjoy turning ideas into clear, engaging visuals that feel considered without losing personality. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to hear about your project.

Dance Harmonics Label - Visual Identity

Dance Harmonics is a visual identity created for a dance music label. The logo draws from the concept of harmonic saturation, where overtones build upon a fundamental frequency to create depth and texture. This idea became the foundation of the identity. The circular logo uses vertical lines to evoke layered frequencies and resonance, while a bold typographic system and vibrant electric colours capture the energy and movement of the music itself. Darker supporting tones provide balance, allowing the brighter elements to feel even more luminous. The result is a visual identity that reflects the label’s ambition to create fuller, richer, and more immersive musical experiences. · Concept Development · Logo Design · Visual Identity · Typography · Colour Palette · Merchandise Design graphicdesigner visualidentity logodesigner branddesigner

Focado - Premium Fast Food Branding

Focado is a premium fast-food brand centered on fresh focaccia sandwiches and rotisserie specialties. The goal was to create a visual language that reflects handcrafted quality while remaining bold, modern, and instantly recognizable. The identity balances clean typography with playful graphic elements, a custom mascot, a versatile icon system, and packaging, signage, and digital communication. Combined with a vibrant orange palette and confident layouts, the brand creates an energetic experience that feels contemporary without losing the warmth and familiarity of comfort food. · Logo Design · Visual Identity · Iconography · Packaging · Environmental Graphics · Motion Graphics · Social Media Design · Mascot Design Full project: https://www.twine.net/signin branding illustrator graphicdesigner designer logo

Aramis Water Solutions - Logo & Visual Identity

Aramis Water Solutions is an industrial water treatment company providing engineered solutions for commercial and industrial applications. Working alongside the design studio, I developed a refreshed visual identity, including logo design, key brand assets, and a corporate presentation. Built around the concept of Strategic Protection, the identity combines shield-like forms with flowing water-inspired geometry to express reliability, engineering precision, and multi-stage filtration.

The Other Otter - Brand Strategy & Identity

The Other Otter is a coffee brand developed from strategy through visual identity. The concept combines a distinctly British character with a playful, contemporary approach to coffee culture, built around a charming otter mascot that gives the brand its personality. I developed the brand strategy and visual system, including the identity, an extensive library of custom illustrations, typography, colour, packaging, merchandise, and brand guidelines. The illustration system brings the otter’s world to life across different situations and touchpoints, giving the brand a recognizable voice while keeping it flexible and full of character. · Brand Strategy · Visual Identity · Brand Guidelines · Custom Illustration · Packaging · Copywriting graphicdesigner illustrator branddesigner

FIRST - EP Artwork & Art Direction

Music has the ability to transport us somewhere else. For First, I wanted the artwork to capture that feeling without illustrating it directly. The design combines abstract cosmic forms, expressive textures, and bold typography to create imagery that feels mysterious, energetic, and immersive. The visual language was developed across the EP cover, vinyl packaging, streaming artwork, and promotional assets, creating a cohesive presence for the release. · Creative Concept · Art Direction · EP Cover Design · Graphic Design · Digital & Physical Applications Full Project: https://www.twine.net/signin graphicdesigner albumart albumartdesigner graphicdesign

Aerobika EP - Artwork & Art Direction

I was commissioned to create the artwork and visual direction for the release of this EP, developing a cohesive graphic language across the cover, vinyl labels, promotional assets, and merchandise. Inspired by the energy of the music, the design explores the relationship between rhythm, repetition, and texture. Bold typography is contrasted with expressive, abstract forms, while vibrant turquoise accents introduce a sense of movement and intensity. Rather than illustrating the music literally, the artwork captures its atmosphere through shape, contrast, and composition. · Art Direction · Cover Artwork · Release Graphics · Vinyl Design · Merchandise Design graphicdesigner albumart albumartdesigner coverart

Claudia Another Chance - Brand Identity & Website

Claudia Another Chance Association is a non-profit dedicated to rescuing and caring for abandoned animals with special needs. I developed a new brand identity and website that positions the organization through optimism rather than urgency.

The result is a warm, approachable identity that helps build trust, inspire involvement, and communicate the association’s mission with clarity. · Brand Strategy · Visual Identity · Logo Design · Photo Editing · Web Design · UX/UI Design Full Project: https://www.twine.net/signin logo graphicdesigner webdesigner designer branding
