Welcome to My LALATOWN is an illustrated world built one story at a time. Filled with neighborhood cafés, grocery lists, handmade dresses, wandering citizens, donut trees, afternoon boonshik, and everyday acts of kindness, LALATOWN grew from a simple belief: that ordinary life can be magical when we pay attention to it. This ongoing project brings together illustration, writing, world-building, handmade creations, and visual storytelling into one living town where everyone is welcome.

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
Sourcerer Brand Identity
The Sourcerer is an independent collectibles brand built for the trading card game community. From branding and illustration to social assets, motion and the Shopify storefront, I created a complete identity system designed to grow alongside the business and its long-term vision.
The result is a distinctive brand centred around the Sourcerer mascot - a magical guide dedicated to hunting down the impossible to find. Supported by a flexible visual system spanning illustration, motion, social content and digital touchpoints, the identity gives The Sourcerer a strong foundation to grow into a recognisable destination for collectors and the community around it.
Great work on this 👍
