    paper Hatch & Hash – Brand Identity Redesign

    I led the full rebranding of Hatch & Hash, a creative studio with a bold, high-energy personality. The original identity felt muted and inconsistent, so I crafted a logo system that captured their daring, dynamic spirit while staying flexible for digital and print use. I developed a cohesive brand board featuring expressive typography, saturated color palettes, and a balance of minimalism and playfulness—matching their vibrant photographic style without overpowering it.
