Character design: Created original character designs and visual worldbuilding concepts for a fantasy narrative project, focusing on personality-driven design, atmospheric storytelling, and visual identity. The process involved developing character appearances, expressions, silhouettes, color palettes, and narrative symbolism to create distinct emotional and thematic depth. Each design was crafted to reflect the characters’ roles, internal conflicts, and the larger world they inhabit while maintaining a cohesive visual language inspired by fantasy, anime, and cinematic storytelling.

I design the full brand identity and social media system for GRIND, a Lisbon-based artist management and music label.
The scope covered logo design, icon system, color palette, typography, stationery, and a complete set of social media templates all built around a consistent visual language that works across every touchpoint.
The aesthetic sits at the intersection of street culture and industry credibility, bold type, high contrast. Built to stand out in a feed and hold weight in a boardroom.
This branding goes hard! Really like how it feels bold and expressive.
I’m excited to share a look into my latest character project built in Rive. Unlike static illustrations, these vector assets are designed for the modern web—fully scalable, lightweight, and ready for real-time interaction.
good job
We partnered with Gaia Naturelle, a Slovenian skincare brand, to design a brand and packaging system built from wood — a material almost no one in cosmetics uses.
The challenge was making it work as actual packaging, not as a gimmick. It had to feel genuinely natural up close, hold up across a full product range, and still earn attention from across a retail shelf.
The identity is built around a single typographic mark designed to survive any surface — printed on paper, burnt into wood, or stamped into handmade soap. That consistency became the spine of the system, letting the range feel like one family across very different materials and finishes.
The packaging itself is local wood, finished with custom laser-engraved grain patterns that give each piece its own character. Gold-foil labels carry product information and bring just enough contrast to keep the range legible at a distance. Every decision was about restraint — fewer elements, used with intent.
The result is a skincare brand that doesn't look like other skincare brands. Natural where it should be, deliberate everywhere else, and unmistakable on a shelf.
Amazing work!
