Editorial Book Cover Concepts for Literary Classics
This conceptual book cover series is built around one belief: a good book deserves a cover with the same depth, clarity, and force as the writing itself.
I focused on translating abstract literary themes, symbols, and atmosphere into strong physical imagery. Each cover uses a distinct object, color direction, typography, and composition to create a striking first impression before the book is even opened.
The goal was not just to make the covers look beautiful, but to make each book’s invisible idea visible, memorable, and commercially readable.

This one was a little different!
A traditional portfolio will not work for an artist whose work is still evolving. Instead, we built a digital exhibition — a space where process, material, and perception are part of the experience, not just the finished piece.
Studio Investigations is designed to feel like moving through a body of work, not scrolling a website. Linear, editorial, one work at a time, with a CMS built to grow as her practice does.
Not every site needs to follow the same structure. Sometimes the experience should mirror the work itself.

Very artistic and you can feel that "gallery" vibe, great work!
We partnered with Gaia Naturelle, a Slovenian skincare brand, to design a brand and packaging system built from wood — a material almost no one in cosmetics uses.
The challenge was making it work as actual packaging, not as a gimmick. It had to feel genuinely natural up close, hold up across a full product range, and still earn attention from across a retail shelf.
The identity is built around a single typographic mark designed to survive any surface — printed on paper, burnt into wood, or stamped into handmade soap. That consistency became the spine of the system, letting the range feel like one family across very different materials and finishes.
The packaging itself is local wood, finished with custom laser-engraved grain patterns that give each piece its own character. Gold-foil labels carry product information and bring just enough contrast to keep the range legible at a distance. Every decision was about restraint — fewer elements, used with intent.
The result is a skincare brand that doesn't look like other skincare brands. Natural where it should be, deliberate everywhere else, and unmistakable on a shelf.
Amazing work!
