Book Cover Design | "Brutalmente Simples" (Brutally Simple)
Book cover design for a Brazilian business consultant with 40+ years of experience. The book, "Brutalmente Simples," teaches entrepreneurs how to simplify their operations for better results.
The concept was built around contrast: bold, clean typography that reflects the book's core message. If the method is about cutting complexity, the cover had to feel that way too. No clutter. No decoration. Just clarity.
Scope: concept development, typography, layout, print-ready file.

One Logo a Day | Exploring Geometric Expression
For one month, I challenged myself to design a logo every day. These four favourites share a distinct visual language: bold monochrome shapes, precise geometric construction, and playful use of negative space.
Circles, semicircles, and elongated verticals become the building blocks for expressive symbols. Rounded forms soften the heavy black silhouettes, while repetition creates rhythm and movement. Elsewhere, sharp diagonals and dramatic shifts in thickness introduce a more angular, architectural character.
The series explores the boundary between abstraction and recognition, suggesting familiar objects and gestures through a small number of carefully arranged shapes. Visible construction grids reveal the relationships behind each mark, showing how proportions, alignments, and curves hold the compositions together.
Working entirely in black and white places the focus on form. Each design becomes an exercise in creating personality and visual impact through silhouette, contrast, and space.
Introducing OpenHaus, a vibrant house music festival, made for anyone and everyone.
The visual identity leans into bold, saturated color paired with bold typography and structured, grid-based layouts. It feels colorful and inviting on the surface, but stays grounded by a level of restraint that gives it a more considered feel.
The logomark combines a lowercase "h" with a triangle, forming the silhouette of a house, a small, playful nod to the genre and the name itself.

Great color palette and logo design 🎉🎉
Pauli | Fashion with a Personal Touch
For Pauli, a fashion boutique with a warm, caring personality, I designed a logo that brings its “fashion & love” philosophy to life through playful, distinctive lettering.
The connected lowercase wordmark combines rounded strokes, circular details, and flowing curves. Its consistent line weight creates visual harmony, while the elongated “p” and tall “l” give the silhouette rhythm and individuality. A small heart replaces the dot above the “i,” weaving the boutique’s affectionate character directly into its name.
A delicate serif tagline adds elegance beneath the expressive lettering. Deep blue anchors the identity, balanced by soft blush pink and fresh pastel green for a welcoming, uplifting palette.
The letterforms also become a flexible graphic toolkit: separated, mirrored, and repeated, they create decorative motifs and packaging patterns. This extends the logo into a cohesive identity, giving every detail the same personal, lovingly considered feel.
Lovely design
