Solano — Skincare Brand Identity & Packaging
For Solano, I wanted to create a skincare brand that felt warm, confident, and contemporary without falling into the usual clinical skincare aesthetic.
The identity was built around a simple sun-inspired symbol, an understated serif wordmark, and a terracotta, cream, and earthy brown palette. From there, I developed the packaging around a consistent visual language across skincare tubes, serum bottles, cream jars, cartons, and a curated gift set.
I also extended the brand beyond the products themselves into shopping bags, tissue, retail displays, editorial pieces, and branded delivery packaging to show how Solano could exist as a complete beauty brand rather than just a collection of products.
The result is a visual identity that feels natural and premium, but still approachable enough for everyday skincare.

Bem came in with logo marks and colors, and we're looking for an identity to call home. After doing some research and inspiration exercises, we came up with this concept, which I absolutely love.
That recurring blue square feels like it could carry the whole brand on its own eventually. Did bem come in already sold on going this abstract, or did you have to build the case for it internally?
Motion is a way to take something complex and give it rhythm, structure, and meaning.
That’s where I believe motion design makes the difference: not by adding movement to every frame, but by knowing what to show, what to leave out, and where to guide the viewer next.
Because when the story is clear, the product has a better chance to be understood.💭
Knowing what to leave out is the hardest part to explain to a client who wants everything moving at once. Do you talk them down from that up front, or just let a restrained first draft make the case on its own?
OOZY is a contemporary cookie brand built around one simple idea: good cookies should get a little messy.
Think warm, soft centres, melted chocolate, chunky textures and unapologetically indulgent flavours.
I’m exploring two directions for the wordmark, which one feels more OOZY? 👀

Option 2 is giving me more of an icecream brand look.
