Zejtaria
Brand identity for the Albanian National Chamber of Crafts
Zejtaria was developed for the National Chamber of Crafts to reposition traditional trades as a serious, viable path — for a generation more inclined to doubt them than choose them.
The visual system centers on a single letterform — Z — folded until it opens into a window, a gesture that reads as both a turn of material and an opening.
Across posters, stationery, packaging, and outdoor applications, the identity holds a deep burgundy as its anchor, extending into terracotta, mustard, powder blue, and blush — with the same restraint carried through every touchpoint: no ornament standing in for meaning.
Hekaya Archive
Heritage Fragrance Identity
Hekaya — حكاية — means story. It's born from the sea, the smoke, and the memory of scents passed between generations: a fragrance house that doesn't sell a product so much as keep one.
The identity was built to be remembered rather than consumed. A bilingual wordmark lets Arabic and Latin share a single breath. Illustrated engravings, drawn from courtyard and coast, carry the hand of old print traditions. A palette of indigo and desert light holds the whole system in quiet composure — the tone of something made to last, not to pass with the season.
Across packaging, art direction, and applications, every mark and material was chosen to linger the way a scent does: long after the last drop, the story remains. Told twice. In one voice.
This is beautifully crafted. I really like how the identity is rooted in storytelling rather than just aesthetics. Every visual element feels intentional and reinforces the brand narrative
Read/Design is a personal project that started as a way to keep my curiosity about design alive. Think of it as a digital library built from the books I've collected over the years. The idea is to share, every month in an Instagram post, the insights that stuck with me the most, with the goal of spreading knowledge and encouraging the reading of physical books.
Since sharing your process is the thing now, here's how this came together: I designed the graphics and website myself in the old-fashioned way, but the site itself was built in Claude Code with a Notion database behind it. Huge respect for developers. This build cost me two migraines and way too many tokens.
