CHARGE — Brand Concept
Challenge
The focus gum category is crowded with products that rely on functional claims, lifestyle clichés, or overly clinical branding. CHARGE needed a visual identity that immediately communicated energy, confidence, and momentum while feeling premium enough to compete on modern digital shelves.
Idea
Energy. Focus. Go.
The concept treats focus as movement rather than concentration. Every graphic element—from bold typography and angular compositions to kinetic motion and athletic photography—reinforces the feeling of acceleration.
Rather than telling people they’ll feel energized, the brand is designed to make them feel energized the moment they encounter it.
Visual Language
A bold, high-contrast design system built around oversized typography, dynamic geometric forms, clean white space, and vibrant product colors creates an instantly recognizable identity. Bright lifestyle photography captures moments of determination, speed, and achievement, while the colorful packaging becomes a hero element across every touchpoint.
Motion System
The motion language is driven by momentum. Type slides with purpose, products snap into frame, athletes move through fast cinematic cuts, and macro product moments add tactile detail. Every transition is quick, precise, and intentional—mirroring the instant boost associated with the product.
Photography
Instead of generic fitness imagery, the photography celebrates peak performance across multiple sports and disciplines. Powerful portraits, dynamic action, and vibrant outdoor environments create a feeling of optimism and forward motion while reflecting a diverse community of high performers.
Outcome
The result is a contemporary consumer brand that feels energetic, premium, and highly scalable. The identity extends seamlessly across packaging, social media, motion graphics, advertising, digital experiences, and retail—creating a cohesive brand system that is memorable both on shelf and on screen.
Awesome work!
Really like the direction here. The idea of making focus feel like movement is such a strong angle. The whole system feels energetic without losing the premium side.
Love the energy!
Brilliant work man 🙌
Stunning attention to detail! Every single element feels intentional and perfectly placed. Great job!
Top tier
Incredible identity, clean work!
Treating focus as movement instead of concentration is a sharp reframe, most gum brands default to clinical or minty-clean visuals instead. The kinetic macro shots are doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. Was that photography direction locked in from the start, or did it come...
Dope but looks like AI, tough the last 2 faces are extremely realistic, good call on those.
fantastic work
Amazing design!
gum branding is a rough category to stand out in

I am gathering cool references for my own work as a Motion Designer, and this one caught my eye this week.
Day 3 of 60-days-collecting-awesome-motion-design-references
I love the way this is designed, based on abstract shapes and concepts with a coding visual language that we are all already familiar with. This is a great reference in this modern era where we deal more and more with products and services that live on the internet, not on a physical product.
This animation was created by Odd Fellows in collaboration with Figma.
60 days of references is a serious commitment. Curious, are you mostly drawn to the same visual language each time, or does it shift a lot depending on the day?
Outstanding 😊
Ledger — AI CFO Platform
Ledger is an AI platform that acts as an always-on Chief Financial Officer for founders — connecting to accounts, learning cash rhythm, and surfacing risks before they become real problems. I designed the full landing page.
My role: UI/UX Design
Scope: Landing page
Financial tools for founders usually feel either cold (dashboards) or intimidating (accounting software).
For Ledger, we borrowed from old-world institutional finance instead — serif type, oil-painting textures, classical architecture — so an AI CFO feels like real authority, not another app.
This color pallet works so well with data and makes everything look premium. love it!
