Industry Experience

Real Estate & Construction, Travel & Hospitality, Professional Services
    paper Anime-Style Cover Artwork Illustration

    I was commissioned to create an anime-style illustration for a music cover, featuring a girl in flowing purple tones floating peacefully in water. The creative direction focused on evoking a calm, dreamy atmosphere that complemented the mood of the song.

    Through color choice, soft lighting, and gentle composition, the final artwork achieved a serene and immersive visual feel while maintaining a modern anime-inspired aesthetic.

    The client was highly satisfied with the final result, which was used as the official cover image for the song release.

    paper Branded Corporate Document Template Design – Reception Manual

    I was commissioned to design a custom Word template for a corporate client’s Reception Manual, creating a fresh and professional layout while staying aligned with their existing brand identity.

    Using the client’s logo and brand color palette, I developed a complete document system including a front cover design, table of contents layout, internal page structures, and updated typography. The result was a clear, modern, and easy-to-use template that could be consistently applied across future documents.

    This project balanced brand consistency with improved readability and visual appeal within a practical, editable Word format.

    paper Dental Clinic Logo Refresh & Visual Identity Direction

    I was commissioned to design a new logo for a dental clinic following their space renovation, with the goal of creating a fresh, modern visual identity. The client explored several creative directions, so I developed over a dozen logo concepts ranging from clean and minimal to more expressive marks.

    Through this process, we refined the final direction into a modern tooth-inspired logo paired with the clinic’s brand name, creating a professional and approachable look.

    In addition to the logo, I provided color palette and typography recommendations for the clinic’s website, which were later implemented to ensure visual consistency across their digital presence.

    paper Corporate Handbook Design from Concept to Completion - One New Oxford Street

    I was commissioned by a corporate company to transform their plain Word documents into fully designed, professional handbooks. Starting from scratch, I developed a complete visual system in Adobe InDesign, including layout structure, typography, and a refreshed logo.

    The design direction was inspired by the company’s building interior details, incorporating geometric hexagon elements and subtle Art Deco influences alongside the existing brand colors. This approach created a cohesive and visually engaging identity across the publications.

    The final deliverables included a Receptionist Handbook and an Occupier’s Handbook, both designed to be clear, modern, and easy to navigate while maintaining a strong corporate presence.

    paper Corporate Handbook Design & Layout System for client from HereEast

    I was hired by a large corporate company to update and expand their internal handbook series. Working from existing brand templates and previous handbook designs, I recreated consistent layouts in Adobe InDesign while integrating new content provided in Word documents.

    My role focused on maintaining visual consistency across multiple publications, aligning typography, imagery, and spacing to match the established brand identity, while ensuring the new handbooks felt cohesive, polished, and easy to read.

    This project required strong layout design skills, attention to detail, and efficient handling of large amounts of content within a professional corporate style guide.

    paper Brand Identity for In Sense – Incense Business

    This project involved creating a complete brand identity for a small incense business run by two friends. The goal was to develop a calm, minimal, and soothing visual style that reflected relaxation and mindfulness.

    I led the full branding process, including brand name development, logo design, color palette selection, packaging concepts, and web design direction. Several naming and visual directions were explored before refining and selecting the final brand name In Sense, which best captured the essence of the product and the atmosphere the clients wanted to create.

    The result is a clean, serene brand that feels modern while staying warm and approachable.
