Decided to try out Node Machine for photoshop and I'm having a blast.
Excited to incorporate this into my current workflow (lots of potential for unique brand elements with this tool).

Worked on a full identity and website for a meditation teacher recently.
The hardest part wasn’t the visuals, it was knowing what not to add.
Designing for stillness is a very different discipline.
This looks amazing!
Just launched a recent brand identity project that I successfully completed for CTRL+SHIFT.
Ctrl+Shift is a brand identity project crafted for a forward-thinking platform operating at the intersection of creative technology, culture, and media. Through events, talks, content, and community, the brand brings together artists, builders, and technologists to explore creative intelligence, generative storytelling, and coding as cultural expression.
Editorial and confident, the identity is unapologetically creative-first—slightly irreverent, opinionated, and culture-forward. Designed to feel like a living platform rather than a campaign, the visual language leverages glyph dithering, color halftones, 3D ASCII graphics, and surreal soft sci-fi imagery. Anchored by a pitch-black foundation with vibrant color tints as accents, the system creates a bold yet sophisticated presence for a community built around curiosity, craft, and future-facing creativity.
You can see full project presentation here.
Feel free to like, comment and follow, kindly appreciated.

Brand work doesn't end when the manual gets delivered. Branding is only effective when it's smoothly applied across mediums - decks, emails, websites, social media, print assets.
For DealDesk, we built an extensive template system: presentation decks, social media posts, one-pagers. The goal was to equip early-stage founders to keep asset production costs low while maintaining perfect brand alignment. Every template follows the same visual logic: confident typography, controlled teal palette, editorial photography standards.
The result: a self-sufficient system that scales without a full-time design team.
Intentional work. Every piece has a purpose.
