Jewelry Brand Identity and Packaging Design
MAISON — Jewelry Brand Identity
A beautiful piece deserves a beautiful introduction.
That's the idea behind MAISON.
The identity was designed around the feeling of elegance, celebration, and personal connection not just the jewelry itself. A distinctive monogram creates...

A brand can look beautiful and still feel forgettable.
For ÉLAN NOIR, I wanted the identity to communicate something more specific: elegance, mystery, and quiet confidence.
That meant looking beyond the logo and thinking about how the typography, color, layout, packaging and overall visual language could create one consistent feeling.
That’s how I approach brand identity and packaging design.
Not just making individual pieces look good, but building a visual system that gives a brand something recognizable to grow with. I’m currently open to working with founders and brands in:
→ CPG → Food & Beverage → Wellness → Lifestyle → DTC → Consumer products
Whether you're building a new brand, launching a product, expanding your SKUs, or refreshing an existing identity, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
What makes a brand instantly recognizable to you?
For me it's repetition of one non-logo asset — a crop, a paper stock, a specific shade — showing up often enough that people recognise it before they read anything. The low-key lighting is doing that job here; does it survive a retailer shooting the bottle on plain white?
What's your one-rule brand? Tell me.
Most jewelry brands photograph the object. This one photographs the grip.
AQUILIFER — a brand I built around one idea: jewelry as something carried, not worn.
Case study + full site now live.
The name comes from Roman military rank. The aquilifer carried the standard — the one thing the legion couldn't afford to drop.
That single word killed my first direction before I'd finished it.
No polish. No faceted stones.
Hand-cast, asymmetric pieces, tool marks left visible.
Photography went extreme macro, unretouched skin, hands gripping the face instead of posing near it.
Color system: two darks instead of one dark + accent.
#1E1E1E and #27331A let the brand shift register — campaign world to product world — without ever going light.
#D9DED4 stays structural only. Never a fill.
Motion rule on the site: diagonal masks only. No rotation, anywhere.
A spinning object reads as being shown off. This brand is about weight, not display.
Same angle, same easing, top to bottom.
One idea, held all the way through — name, object, photography, palette, motion.
That's the whole pitch for how I work.
Absolutely love your works!
