I developed a strategic design concept tailored for companies that have secured Series A funding, focusing on scalability, clearer positioning, and a stronger product and brand foundation for growth.

I created the entire design in Paper Design, building a complete visual direction that supports a more mature company stage—structured layouts, clear hierarchy, and a polished, investor-ready look. The goal was to translate strategy into a clean and functional design system that helps the company communicate better, move faster, and scale more efficiently.

Built a financial SaaS brand that looks like it was designed by a meteorologist who never lost a board meeting.

No dashboards. No icon libraries. No "clean and modern." Just pressure.

🃏 Have you ever played Mafia?

Did you know it's also played professionally – with rankings, federations, and tournaments all over the world?

"Mafia" – a team psychological, turn-based, role-playing game with a detective plot, simulating the struggle of an informed organized minority against an unorganized majority.

Some time ago, I developed the identity for one of the Mafia game federations.

The logo was built around the symbolism of the game itself:

🔴 10 players seated at a round table 🔴 two teams divided by color – black (the Mafia) and red (the citizens) 🔴 the key roles: the Don leading the "black" team and the Sheriff leading the "red"

The goal was to capture the whole essence of the game in one clean mark – conveying both the drama of the confrontation and the clear structure around the table.

So which side are you on — the Mafia or the citizens? 👀

I love Mafia, although I've only played it three times in my life 😄 So I'm more of a spectator than a player)))

I really like the logo concept. It's very creative, and I love the deeper meaning behind it!
