LALA GROCERY LIST
I have always loved grocery stores.
No matter where I go, I find myself wandering through local markets, looking at fruits, vegetables, spices, and all the little ingredients that quietly fill everyday life.
One day, I started drawing them.
A lemon became Oh Lemon.
An onion became You Don’t Make Me Cry No More.
A garlic became Dear My Garlic.
What began as a few playful illustrations slowly grew into a collection.
This is a small corner of LALATOWN dedicated to the ingredients that rarely get the spotlight, but somehow make everything better.

Heritage Fragrance Identity
Hekaya — حكاية — means story. It's born from the sea, the smoke, and the memory of scents passed between generations: a fragrance house that doesn't sell a product so much as keep one.
The identity was built to be remembered rather than consumed. A bilingual wordmark lets Arabic and Latin share a single breath. Illustrated engravings, drawn from courtyard and coast, carry the hand of old print traditions. A palette of indigo and desert light holds the whole system in quiet composure — the tone of something made to last, not to pass with the season.
Across packaging, art direction, and applications, every mark and material was chosen to linger the way a scent does: long after the last drop, the story remains. Told twice. In one voice.
This is beautifully crafted. I really like how the identity is rooted in storytelling rather than just aesthetics. Every visual element feels intentional and reinforces the brand narrative
Custom Brand Illustrations for Lucra
These are what make a brand system feel considered rather than assembled.
Is that a pool illustration I spy there? Very cool!
Nothing says a brand launch went well quite like selling out!! 💚
I had so much fun bringing the dreamiest girly, minimal matcha brand, Mind & Leaf, to life from the website design and social media graphics to the creative direction for the photography.
It was such a fun and cute project to build, but seeing the brand sell out upon launch made it even sweeter. That’s when you know the vision worked.
how exciting, this design is so refreshing & reads overall as super relatable!
