PencilKit is my Chrome extension that turns any webpage into a calm, native-feel sketching surface. You can draw, highlight, and type directly on top of content. Perfect for research, reviews, and quick ideas without juggling extra tools.
For its first release, I designed a focused brand system for the Chrome Web Store: logo, main banner, and extension thumbnail. I kept the visuals soft, minimal, and readable at small sizes so the icon, banner, and screenshots feel consistent and easy on the eyes.
This case study walks through how I approached the logo, banner, and thumbnail to make PencilKit feel friendly, trustworthy, and instantly clear in just a few seconds.

beautiful work, all across the board! this color combo is genius, super magnetic.
Halftone is having a moment.
Not as a brand identity. Not as a preset. Just as a visual language that keeps finding its way back into contemporary design.
I built a custom tool to experiment with the treatment—and this is one of the results.
The interesting part isn’t the effect. It’s what you can make it do.
love it!
