    Mock Book Design: "Things I Meant to Say"


    This mock book design was a personal project where I explored how visual design can amplify the emotional weight of language. Things I Meant to Say is a conceptual title I imagined as a collection of reflective essays or poetry centered on memory, vulnerability, and unspoken thoughts.

    I designed the cover with a minimalist yet expressive approach—using soft tones, subtle textures, and delicate typography to echo the quiet intensity of the title. The goal was to create a book that felt intimate, like a journal or a letter you were never meant to read, but somehow did.

    This project allowed me to play with layout, hierarchy, and emotional tone through visual design, while still keeping the aesthetic refined and literary. It’s a small ode to the power of design in shaping how we feel a story before we even read it.

    Sacred Femininity


    This project explores the intersection of spirituality, symbolism, and womanhood through visual storytelling. Sacred Femininity is a conceptual design piece I created for an imagined exhibition celebrating divine and mythological representations of women across cultures.

    I drew inspiration from religious iconography, celestial motifs, and classical sculpture to craft a visual identity that feels both ethereal and powerful. The imagery combines glowing marble textures, colorful smoke, and reverent lighting to evoke a sense of mysticism and awe.

    My goal was to create visuals that honor the sacred, sensual, and transcendent aspects of femininity—without reducing them to clichés. Each design element was carefully considered to reflect themes of devotion, beauty, and inner strength.

    This project was a chance to push my creative direction and deepen my exploration of spiritual aesthetics in design.

    Parysatis Brand Identity


    For this project, I created the brand identity for Parysatis, a luxury jewelry brand inspired by ancient Persian royalty and opulence. I wanted the visual language to feel both regal and restrained—evoking power, elegance, and mystery. The name itself references Queen Parysatis of the Achaemenid Empire, setting the tone for a brand rooted in history, symbolism, and timeless glamour.

    I developed a custom wordmark with sharp, sculptural letterforms that nod to stone engravings and royal seals. The color palette was kept minimal and sophisticated—deep onyx, burnished gold, and soft parchment tones—to enhance the sense of preciousness and antiquity.

    From logo design to packaging concepts, my goal was to design a brand that felt rare and culturally rich, like an heirloom or an unearthed treasure. Every element—from the typography to the motifs—was chosen to reflect strength, femininity, and lineage.
