Recently worked on a project for https://joindawn.com/ on the release of their new product. Hired by my friend https://x.com/hunterthompson to create the initial logo and creative direction. He always brings me great projects that give me room to really push the logo and brand work. With Dawn, I explored a wide range of directions — looking at how we could express sun, serenity, and mental health in a way that felt warm, calm, and approachable. These were some of the early explorations across a few different visual directions.

So cool

If a brand is built around texture and atmosphere, how should the illustrations respond?

This brand identity belongs to an interior designer whose work focuses on detail, materials, and atmosphere, so the illustration style needed to reflect that same sensibility.

I started by cutting shapes from paper inspired by interior elements, then scanned and refined them digitally before turning them into vector illustrations for the brand system.

Working this way helped keep the visuals distinctive and more textured, which felt important for this identity.

How do you bring texture or craft into your work? Full project

Love this analog direction 👏
