Sync's founder booked a white Peugeot.
A black Skoda showed up.
He built a whole rental company to end "or similar."
Then the first line people read about it said "marketplace."
Accurate word. Wrong shelf.
"Marketplace" filed Sync next to every app where strangers rent things to strangers. That shelf gets judged on one question: can I trust this?
So before we touched the identity, we moved the category.
Sync is car rental in Greece.
That one call reset everything after it.
The benchmark for finish became Avis, Hertz and Sixt.
The message came from the service: the exact car, at your door, no deposit hold.
Pink went from wallpaper to accent.
The noun you use to describe your company picks your competitors for you.
Try it: read only the noun on your homepage title. Write the three companies a buyer would compare you with. Are they the three you want to beat?

Customer Conversations is an AI that calls a store's customers and interviews them. Explaining that took half of every sales call.

Rhyen Lab: Brand Identity & Packaging for a Skincare Brand
Rhyen Lab is a skincare brand built around science-backed formulas and a sensorial, human approach to beauty. The challenge was to create an identity that feels clinical enough to be trusted, yet warm and expressive enough to stand out in a crowded market.
I designed a custom wordmark with fluid, organic letterforms that echo the texture of serums and oils, paired with a bold monogram “R” for compact applications. A palette of deep olive green and soft cream keeps the brand grounded, natural and premium, while macro photography of skin and product textures reinforces the sensorial tone.
The system was applied across packaging for the Vitamin C Serum, Facial Cleanser and Moisturising Day Cream, ensuring consistency across tubes and bottles.
