"Human by Design: Where AI Meets Instinct
For the #envatochallenge, I designed a logo for 'Brew & Beans', a café that feels like home. But I didn’t stop there—I placed it in a fully realized café scene to show how human judgment transforms AI-generated work into something warm, inviting, and real.
The Process:
AI’s First Draft: A cold, corporate logo with generic colors and fonts.
My Human Touch:
Swapped the sterile blue for a warm terracotta (Envato’s Earthy Tones pack).
Replaced the default font with a handwritten script (Envato’s "Brittany" font).
Added watercolor textures and hand-drawn imperfections to the icon.
Placed the logo in a café that feels alive—even without humans.
Tools Used:
Envato’s AI logo generator, color palettes, fonts, and café stock images.
Photoshop (for refinements).
Human by Design Moment:
The AI gave me a technically perfect logo, but it lacked the soul of a small-town café. So I added warmth, texture, and context—because great design isn’t just about how it looks, but how it makes you feel.
Swipe through the images to see the final logo and café in action! ☕

⁕ Full Brand Identity for Trace™
One of the project's greatest challenges was creating an identity that is instantly recognizable and inspires investor confidence, while balancing a futuristic aesthetic with the sense of reliability intrinsic to the brand's values.
The core concept draws inspiration from the cosmos and the brand's drive to transcend boundaries; no matter the distance, the delivery is guaranteed. We translated this visually through patterns forming paths that lead to a destination, a motif that extends to every corner of the visual language.
