Matiz is a handmade ceramics brand built around raw texture, natural pigment, and the small imperfections that make something feel truly made by hand.
Matiz creates mugs and bowls designed for slow mornings, and decor for quiet, tactile homes.
What happens when propaganda designed to erase the self gets pointed at the self instead?
Soviet propaganda spent 70 years trying to erase the individual soul in favour of the collective machine. I pointed that exact visual language at the thing it was built to suppress.
Good branding isn’t just about how a logo looks. It’s about what it represents.
Sharing one of our recent projects: NEXU, a fintech brand identity built around connection, trust, and opportunity.
The idea was to create a visual identity that makes finance feel more human and approachable. The symbol brings together the gesture of reaching out and the strength of a bridge, representing the connection between people, capital, and opportunity.
From the logo concept to the broader visual identity, every detail was designed to communicate confidence, clarity, and progress.
It’s always rewarding to see how a simple visual idea can tell a much bigger story.
Would love to hear what you think!

Two 30-second motion pieces in two very different design languages, randomly drawn from a list of 60 styles.
Sprout: Flat Design
A houseplant-care app told with bright, shadowless shapes and springy bounce-in motion. Friendly icons, a weekly watering chart, a testimonial bubble and a “Pick your pal” shop all pop in with a circle wipe between scenes.
Atelier Nord: Modernism
An architecture studio told with restraint. Line drawings build themselves, from a house elevation to a floor plan, in a warm grey, black and off-white palette with a single orange accent. Clean type and sliding wipes keep it calm and precise.
One format, two moods: playful and rounded vs. quiet and exact.
