In addition to being a huge fan of greyhounds, I sought to delve into an exploration of stillness, movement, and temperament through illustrated greyhound forms.
This personal project focuses on expressing emotion and character through minimal line work, subtle colour, and compositional balance.

Started Ovum with painted specimen-egg illustrations and a wax-seal logo. Killed almost all of it.
Kept one hand-drawn wordmark and five colors, rebuilt the whole campaign in 35mm film — honey oil mid-pour, skin, candlelight. Same brand, completely different eyes.
This looks so high end, love how everything is tied together, how did you produce these films? They look super clean.
Exploring two identity directions for Lumena Practice—a proactive healthcare brand designed to make care feel personal, clear, and achievable.
Both directions combine wellness with forward movement, but communicate the idea differently:
A — A minimal four-petal symbol that feels calm, modern, and expansive.
B — A softer floral mark with a subtle healthcare cross, creating a more immediate connection between human wellness and clinical care.
