Some projects never make it to launch.
This one went quiet midway.
The work exists though. And I still think about it.
Daima is a body care brand built around water movement, sunset light, the feeling of surrendering to a moment. Every detail designed to be felt as much as seen.
Curious: what do you do with a project you loved that never saw the light? ❤️🔥
Awesome!
Thanks!
looks very warm. I'd share it with the network, add to portfolio and just keep it. And maybe the time for this piece (or something similar) will come again
Hopefully it'll have its time. There's real thinking and strategy behind this, so it feels like it needs to exist somehow. 😊
Love this!
thanks!
This is awesome likee.....
😊
Thanks! 😊
Nice!
Thanks!
if it was a client project that was rejected, i'd make it into something else and share it.
This was actually a second iteration of a proposal my client really appreciated, we were almost there. She ghosted me toward the end, so I think it had more to do with the possibility of launching than the concept itself. But who knows.
book marking this to upgoat it tomorrow
🙌
Thank you so much! I see you already did it, really appreciate that 🥹
Nice work
thanks Moye!
Honestly, some of the most beautiful creative work never gets launched publicly, but it still shapes you as a designer. Sometimes those unfinished or unseen projects end up influencing your taste, process, and future work more than the ones that actually go live.
Also this visual...
Thank you for saying that. I did a lot of exploration for the patterns and I'm really happy with where it landed.
What I love most is that her concept was genuinely unique, it pushed me into a color palette I probably never would have explored on my own. I haven't shared...
That honestly makes the project even more special. I think some of the strongest creative work happens when a concept pushes us into directions we normally wouldn’t choose ourselves. You can really feel that exploration here, especially in the palette and overall mood. It feels emotionally driven, not just visually designed.
This is why documenting process matters. Even when the brand never launches, the thinking behind it still deserves to exist somewhere.
Definitely. And honestly, learning how to navigate these situations is a win too, even when it doesn't feel like one.
Amazingggggg!
Thaaank youuuu! 🔥
You can revisit it. And this time get it done no matter what.
It's done, as far as I'm concerned. If she comes back, I'm ready. 🚀

First sale on Glyph Co. and it wasn't just the template. It was the full Template + Expert Setup.

That's the validation 🖤
