A recent personal project: exploring where physical product styling meets generative set-building.
I wanted to see how far I could push optical physics, tactile textures, and label preservation purely digitally—without stepping foot in a physical photo studio.
Took a few iconic references (from brutalist chrome eyewear to moody skincare and technical outerwear) and treated them as full editorial spec campaigns:
🔥 Authentic Physics: Real glass refractions, pool caustics, and macro water droplets instead of a flat digital look.
🔥Pixel-Perfect Details: Preserving 100% of the original typography, textures, and product geometry via Photoshop compositing.
🔥Editorial Context: Placing each item into its own atmospheric world—from rainy concrete parking decks to serene Nordic morning light.
Personal experiments like this are the best playground to test what’s truly possible with modern hybrid workflows.
Open for custom commissions, brand campaigns, and creative collaborations here on Contra.

Letter — Visual Identity for a Multinational Company
For Letter, I built the mark around two interlocking loop forms — a subtle nod to connection and precision, the kind of detail that makes a logo feel deliberate at a glance.
I developed the full system from there: wordmark, icon mark, a bold orange-and-black palette, and mockups across ID badges, business cards, lanyards, and even a smartwatch — showing the brand holding its identity everywhere it lands.
Transforming Blueprints into Reality with Vision and Precision.
Absolutely amazing work, well done!
Sardinhas was hand-picked by the Contra team to be featured.
An independent brand concept for a Portuguese sardine tin, built end to end: identity, illustration, packaging, 3D and a ten-image editorial campaign. Hand-cut wordmark, linocut shoal, paper-wrapped lithographed tins rendered in Blender, and a campaign shot on one table under one sun.
Creative direction, brand identity, packaging and AI-assisted visual development by Mauricio Pontual / MP House Studio. Independent concept, not commissioned.

Pro design ☺️
The idea for Puddin’ was to create a dessert brand that felt playful, nostalgic, and full of personality. I didn’t want it to look like just another polished food brand. I wanted the identity to feel warm, slightly quirky, and something you’d actually want to interact with.
So we built the visual direction around soft, playful colours, expressive typography, and a hand-drawn illustration style.
This is where we started, turning the personality of Puddin’ into a visual language.
