The name Solaya: a place of the sun.

This place was designed as more than a resort - it’s a sanctuary by the sea. Soft arches, warm neutrals and natural textures blend boho ease with scandinavian clarity, creating interiors that feel both minimal and inviting. Every corner is open to light, framed by palms and the rhythm of the ocean. Everything follows soft, flowing, and organic lines and you’ll find the whole concept in everything like architecture, interior, branding, asseccoires. This place is telling a whole story and invites you to take a moment to reflect, to breath, to stay. A touch of luxury & a touch of soul - making SOLAYA more than just a resort, but a feeling you can see and sense.

The Vision:
The vision with KORNFREI was to create a CI for a product that is not just gluten-free, but a true, local culinary experience for people with gluten intolerance. I wanted to prove that “gluten-free” doesn’t automatically mean sacrificing taste or relying on artificial ingredients. My goal was an honest, artisanal product that tastes as natural and delicious as traditional bread and muesli and shows it from the packaging over the website to the taste.

The Design Process: Focusing on Naturalness and Trust
I wanted the design to reflect the values of KORNFREI at first glance: purity, regionality, artisanal quality, and a deep trust in the power of nature.

The design development process was based on several key pillars:

1. The Color Palette: A Tribute to Nature
   The choice of colors was a conscious decision to emphasize the naturalness and freshness of our products. I decided on a harmonious combination of dark green, cream, and warm kraft paper tones.
   Dark Green: This color symbolizes freshness, growth, and the connection to nature. It conveys calmness and trust, which is particularly important for a product catering to people with specific dietary needs.
   Cream: A soft contrast to the rich green. It ensures a clean, modern aesthetic and gives the design a premium, yet accessible feel.
   Kraft Paper Tones: These warm browns, which we use for the bread bags and other elements, evoke associations with grain, tradition, and artisanal quality. They add a rustic, honest charm to the product.
2. The Logo: Minimalist and Meaningful
   The KORNFREI logo, a stylized ear of grain within a leaf, is the central element of the design. It is simple, memorable, and immediately communicates the brand’s core message: the purity of the grain (the ear) and the natural, plant-based origin (the leaf). The minimalist design ensures a clear and modern aesthetic that builds trust.
3. The Packaging: Where Functionality Meets Aesthetics
   When designing the packaging, functionality was paramount, but not at the expense of aesthetics. I wanted the products to look appealing and be practical at the same time.
   Bread Packaging: A rustic kraft paper bag that underscores the artisanal quality of the bread. A small window allows customers to see the product, which builds trust.
   Muesli Packaging: A modern stand-up pouch that not only looks good but is also conveniently resealable to preserve the freshness of the muesli. The design is clean and clear, with easy-to-read information on ingredients and nutritional values.

The final result is a brand identity that visually tells the story of KORNFREI. From the color palette to the logo to the packaging, every element was carefully chosen to convey the brand’s values: naturalness, trust, quality, and a passion for good, local enjoyment for all.

I create images that don’t just show a room, but capture the soul of the design -
shaped by my experience as an interior designer.

How do you build a visual bridge between two cultures? 🇮🇳 🇩🇪

Recruiting nursing professionals from India for Germany is a task that requires one thing above all else: Trust. That is why a major and exciting project in 2025 was about much more than just “a bit of design.” It was about giving a face to a complex ecosystem combining recruitment and an integrated language school. For the nursing recruitment agency ANILA THEKKAN of Anila Brahmakulam 🫶

From the initial briefing to the final launch, I provided close support and guidance to my client. It was not just designing a logo; we developed a complete corporate identity.

What was created:
• 🎨 Branding & CI: Strategic design decisions that radiate professionalism and warmth while resonating across cultures.
• 💻 Web Design: A digital home that informs and connects.
• 🎙️ Content: Podcast setup, photos, videos, flyers, and other print & social media content for strong communication across all channels.
