Project Title: Afshin — Redefining Modern Luxury Fragrance Identity
Project Overview:
This project is a conceptual art direction and visual identity study for “Afshin,” a hypothetical high-end fragrance brand. The goal was to translate the concept of “Quiet Luxury” into a visual language that feels timeless, minimalist, and emotionally resonant.
The Challenge:
To create a premium visual presence for a new fragrance brand that communicates exclusivity without relying on loud, over-saturated advertising.
The Solution:
I utilized a minimalist composition, prioritizing negative space and natural material textures (charcoal and raw stone) to frame the product. By focusing on dramatic side-lighting and a monochromatic color palette, I established a “Zen” aesthetic that appeals to an audience valuing sophistication and understated elegance.

What happens when a digital agency stops looking like every other digital agency?
For MOONIQ, the answer was a visual identity built around exploration, ambition, and limitless growth.
MOONIQ is a digital marketing agency specializing in social media, blockchain, and Web2 consulting. The challenge was to create a brand that could communicate its futuristic vision without sacrificing sophistication, trust, or strategic clarity.
The identity was developed as a complete visual system — from the logo and typography to the color palette and supporting applications — creating a distinctive presence designed to position MOONIQ as a guide for brands reaching new heights.
A bold identity for a brand built to move forward.

Pretty cool! Is this website live ?
While working on a website, I explored two different approaches for the header design. Same brand, same content, just a different feel and interaction style.
Option 1 - Classic
Option 2 - Modern
Would love your honest UX/UI take, which direction feels cleaner, more functional, and better suited for the overall experience, and why?

VIETNAM, Y3K — FLORA Museum Challenge
For the FLORA Museum Challenge, I chose the Incense Burner with Dragon Spout, a Vietnamese artifact from the 1st–3rd century in The Met’s collection ( https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/53862 ), and reimagined it through a Y3K lens.
I wanted to connect an ancient object with a familiar image of Vietnam today: a woman riding a scooter. The dragon-shaped incense burner became a futuristic chrome vehicle, while traditional Vietnamese clothing and the conical hat were transformed into synthetic future wear.
I built the entire visual world in FLORA, from the clothing and accessories to the dragon scooter, environments, stills, and final video. Using AI as a world building tool, the project imagines how Vietnamese visual culture might evolve into another timeline while still carrying traces of its past.
Love the direction with this! The references to Vietnamese culture is so unique!
