Calm Tech
🌿 2026 didn’t just solidify dopamine design – an opposite trend is rising alongside it: calm tech.
A quiet, minimal, almost “invisible” design that doesn’t overwhelm, but instead lets you breathe.
It’s showing up in productivity apps,
educational platforms,
wellness and mindful services,
and more and more – in web design.
What does it look like in practice?
It’s about the feeling of “I feel calm here” instead of “I need to click something right now”
✨minimal distractions
✨soft, muted color palettes
✨simple, intuitive interfaces
✨plenty of space and air
✨no visual noise
Design that doesn’t shout – but supports.
And in course design (including Kajabi), this approach works especially well in:
• education and complex topics
• psychology, coaching, therapy
• health and wellness
• meditation and mindfulness practices
• expert-led, in-depth programs
• audiences prone to overload
Where it’s not just about delivering information, but about not exhausting the user.
Because sometimes the best design is the one that gives attention back to the user.
Which one feels closer to you – calm and minimal, or expressive and dopamine-driven? 🤍
Super amazing 😍
YUMM 🍪 is a brand identity project for a cookie bakery built around the idea that a brand can be experienced as a story, not just a logo.
For this concept, I developed a visual system that combines graphic design and illustration, creating a playful and narrative-driven world. Instead of treating the logo as a static element, I integrated it into a sequence that follows the entire journey of the cookies—from mixing the dough, to baking, packaging, purchasing, and finally enjoying them.
Illustration becomes the main storytelling tool, turning each phase into expressive and engaging scenes. The result is a visual identity that not only communicates what YUMM is, but also how it feels: soft, indulgent, and slightly addictive.
This project was an opportunity to experiment with a more illustrative and narrative approach to branding, where visual identity becomes an experience rather than just a system.
I’m excited to continue exploring this direction and bring it into future projects where storytelling and design blend seamlessly.
This is so fun - I love it!
I designed an imaginary 3D OOH campaign for Gentle Monster. Here's what's behind it.
G is the first letter of my 26Lab — one imaginary campaign for each letter of the alphabet.
Gentle Monster was an easy choice. A brand that already lives outside reality, where surrealism isn't a style but a baseline. Character and botanical elements are already part of their visual language — I just took both to a different scale.
For the visualization I used Flora: its node-based system was key to keeping the character and the environment consistent across iterations — dozens of them — without losing direction.
AI handled the execution. The concept, the direction, the choices — that part was mine.
