Brand Identity • Packaging • Campaign Design

Minimal monochrome visuals, bold typography, and soft gradients for a new audio brand. I designed the full identity, packaging system, and campaign visuals for launch across digital and retail.

Oasis Audio approached me at the pre-launch stage with a clear vision: to position themselves as the refined alternative in a crowded headphone market. The challenge was to create a brand system that felt premium without being pretentious, and minimal without being cold. I developed a complete visual language built around high contrast, precise typography, and gradient-based motion graphics. The identity system included logo suite, brand guidelines, packaging design for three product lines, e-commerce assets, and launch campaign materials. We kept the palette strictly monochrome with strategic uses of soft glow effects to suggest 'afterglow' moments in sound. Every touchpoint, from the unboxing experience to social templates, was designed to feel cohesive and intentional.

A tactile, almost analog-feeling product identity for a digital-first brand. Clean product renders, precise iconography,

Dune Devices wanted to bring back the joy of focused listening in an age of distraction. Their portable music player needed a brand identity that honored analog tactility while embracing digital precision. I built a system around geometric simplicity, restrained color (black, white, one accent), and ultra-clear iconography. The identity translated seamlessly across contexts: sleek product renders for their site, embossed packaging details for retail, and

Subtle, light-driven photography and a quiet typographic system to position Opal as a calm, trustworthy skincare brand. Deliverables includedcommerce visuals.

Opal came to me with a clear ask: their skincare line was gentle, effective, and ingredient-focused, but their visual identity felt generic and overlooked. I redesigned everything from the ground up, starting with a new logotype that felt softer and more considered. The photography direction emphasized natural light and minimal styling—no aggressive shadows or clinical backdrops. I designed a label system that worked across multiple product formats (bottles, tubes, jars) while keeping a unified look. Typography was kept quiet and elegant, letting the imagery breathe. We also created a full suite of e-commerce assets, including lifestyle photography, product detail
