Hi Contra 👋

I'm Alia, founder of Slick Prjct , my small brand strategy and design studio based in Brussels. I've been doing this for 10+ years, both in-house and freelancers side. I've spent the last few years mostly on Upwork, so starting a profile here from zero feels a bit... strange? In a good way :)

So how is it here? What do you wish someone had told you in your first month?

Go ahead. I think you will get your desire clients.

I Just Created NOIRÉ 🔥

A Coffee Brand Built Around the Pause.

NOIRÉ is a premium café brand built around a simple idea: Great coffee should feel like a moment of pause, not another part of the routine.

The project explores a complete visual identity, packaging system, takeaway cups, coffee bags, tote bags, menu design, café applications and lifestyle campaign direction.

 

Instead of relying on the usual loud coffee aesthetics, I built NOIRÉ around deep charcoal, warm ivory, soft graphite, refined typography, subtle botanical illustrations and quiet editorial compositions.

The visual language is intentionally dark, tactile, and understated - giving every touchpoint the feeling of a slow morning, a quiet table, and coffee worth taking your time with.

From the cup in your hand to the café around you, every detail was designed to make the brand feel like a ritual.

Waiting for your thoughts in the comments 🙌🔥

This feels like coffee branding done differently. Quiet but memorable. Love the restraint.
