Da Dina is a Brazilian handmade cookie brand built around warmth, affection, and the feeling of a family recipe.
The visual identity transforms that homemade character into a playful and contemporary brand system. A custom wordmark, warm color palette, and illustrated character give the brand a distinctive personality while keeping it approachable and nostalgic.
The project expands across packaging, delivery materials, and product photography, creating a cohesive visual language around the heart-shaped cookies and the idea behind the brand: “Biscoito de Coração” cookies made from the heart.
Heart-shaped cookies for a brand literally named "made from the heart" is the kind of on-the-nose idea that could read as cheesy, but keeping the illustration style loose and the palette warm-not-cute is what keeps it from tipping into greeting-card territory.
Pét Pals is an identity for rosé pét-nats made for Fête de la Musique 🎺
Made for 21 June, when music spills into the streets, squares, bars and gardens of France. Three low-intervention rosés. Three personalities. All made to be served cold, passed around and enjoyed wherever the sound takes you. Hear something good? Follow it. Spot your people? Join them. Pét Pals goes where the music goes.
Good wine. Loud music. Your pals.

Looks good!
Frames from the Nexterra Branding & Website Project.
Nexterra builds and operates clean energy systems across five categories: solar, wind, hydroelectric, storage, and nuclear, including small modular reactors.
Every renewable energy brand reaches for the same visual shorthand: soft greens, leaf marks, rounded type. Nexterra needed to enter that category and immediately read as something else, a company confident enough in its technology that it didn't need to borrow the category's usual softness to be trusted.
We built an energetic identity that moves away from that usual muted earthy brand tone.
The logomark, a lightning bolt folded into the shape of an "N." It's built to work at favicon size and needs no supporting tagline to explain what it means.
Nexterra’s palette starts with a ashy null black that anchors every layer then splits into three energetic accents: Electric Yellow (Energy Generation), Safe Green (Energy Storage) and Cool Mint (Energy Grid).
The 2.5 dimensional illustrations took the most experimentation. It sits in between something that isn't quite flat and isn't quite 3D, with enough depth to feel real and also enough simplicity to comprehend what it represents.
Good!
