    paper Great Grey Brewing

    This project presents the re-brand of The Great Grey Brewing Company, featuring a refreshed logo and updated brand colors. As part of the re-brand, I designed a new line of beers inspired by three insect-themed characters, each with names cleverly tied to their respective flavours. Bold patterns and vibrant illustrations work together to create a striking and memorable design.

    paper Sea Biscuits Rebrand

    This project is a refresh to the visual identity of Sea Biscuits, a dog treat brand specializing in seafood-based products—an emerging niche in the pet industry. This re-brand included a new logo, updated colour palette, and a refined overall aesthetic to better reflect the brand’s playful yet coastal tone. The brand guide highlights the updated identity, shares the story behind Sea Biscuits, and includes packaging concepts for the treats. It also serves as a comprehensive reference for maintaining consistency across all brand applications.

    paper Book Cover Design

    This project was all about creating book covers that feel mysterious and symbolic, without showing the story too literally. Inspired by themes of fate and destiny, the designs use simple elements like thread, silhouettes, and negative space to hint at unseen forces shaping the characters’ lives.
    I focused on keeping the series cohesive while letting each cover have its own personality. Bold colour choices, subtle textures, and clean compositions help give the covers a modern fantasy feel, while small design changes explore different moods and emotions. The result is a set of covers that feel connected, intentional, and inviting—meant to spark curiosity before the first page is even turned.
