Miko Beach — Brand Identity
A custom wordmark designed for a luxury beachfront destination in Albania.
The focus was on creating a clean, timeless identity through bespoke typography rather than relying on literal beach imagery—resulting in a versatile mark that works beautifully across signage, uniforms, menus, and digital touchpoints.
Feedback is always appreciated. ✌️

AI gave ideas. Human judgment built the brand.
For the Human by Design Challenge, I created Cronut Café; a conceptual bakery brand, to explore how AI can speed up ideation without replacing creative direction.
I used Envato's ImageGen to generate early logo concepts, then relied on my own judgment to refine the logo, typography, colour palette, and visual identity in Adobe Illustrator. Once the brand direction felt right, I returned to Envato to create mockups, also using VideoGen to bring the identity to life through motion.
The biggest decision was knowing what to keep, what to change, and what to throw away.
That's the part of design that will never change 🚀
Thanks @Envato and @Contra for the challenge! 💚
The Cronut Café name and that latte art shot sell the concept before you even read the caption. Good call using ImageGen just for early concepts and pulling it into Illustrator once you had a direction, that workflow keeps the judgment where it should be.
Iconography
The small details carry more weight than people realize.
Icons, graphic devices, the shapes and motifs that show up in the margins- these are what make a brand system feel considered rather than assembled. We treat this layer with the same rigor as the logo.
A few icon and graphic device studies from a recent project.

Love the presentation… couldn’t read everything at a glance though so I had to zoom in but still nice piece of work here
✨ Introducing DERMA LUMA — my submission for the Contra × Envato Human By Design Challenge.
A skincare brand concept for Gen Z and Millennials, built on one simple idea: skincare should feel personal, fun, and expressive.
From the brand identity, packaging, and campaign visuals to motion design, every detail was crafted to blend human creativity with modern AI-powered workflows—while keeping emotion, intention, and storytelling at the center.
For me, Human By Design means using technology to create better ideas, not replace the creative process.
💜 DERMA LUMA — Make It Fun. Make It Personal.
