Wrapping up a skincare project I've been working on for the past few weeks.
From brand strategy and identity to packaging design for 4 amazing products, it's always rewarding to see everything come together in the final mockups.
Sharing a few sneak peeks before the brand officially launches ✨
Curious, what's your favorite phase of the branding process?
That deep forest green with the gold dropper cap is a strong combo for a skincare brand. The tile backdrop in the mockups ties the whole lifestyle feel together nicely.
Beautiful branding work. Looks like you really enjoyed working on it.
Curious, do you also include prompts in brand guidelines document so that client could replicate the style and visuals in-house?
The ELANOR skincare packaging is gorgeous — that deep green with gold accents feels so luxurious and premium. My favorite phase of branding is definitely the concept exploration stage where anything is possible!
I explored a portfolio website for Meriot, a product designer based in the Netherlands who wanted a digital presence that felt more personal, editorial, and design-focused.
The challenge was to avoid the typical portfolio formula and create something that communicates personality within the first few seconds.
The direction
→ Bold editorial typography
→ Strong personal photography
→ Minimal black-and-white foundation
→ Warm orange accent for CTAs
→ Simple, structured navigation
→ Clear positioning as a product designer
→ A portfolio experience that feels like a personal brand
The idea was to make the website feel confident without being complicated.
Rather than leading with a long introduction, the hero immediately communicates who Meriot is, what he does, and where the visitor should go next.
