Frames from the Nexterra Branding & Website Project.
Nexterra builds and operates clean energy systems across five categories: solar, wind, hydroelectric, storage, and nuclear, including small modular reactors.
Every renewable energy brand reaches for the same visual shorthand: soft greens, leaf marks, rounded type. Nexterra needed to enter that category and immediately read as something else, a company confident enough in its technology that it didn't need to borrow the category's usual softness to be trusted.
We built an energetic identity that moves away from that usual muted earthy brand tone.
The logomark, a lightning bolt folded into the shape of an "N." It's built to work at favicon size and needs no supporting tagline to explain what it means.
Nexterra’s palette starts with a ashy null black that anchors every layer then splits into three energetic accents: Electric Yellow (Energy Generation), Safe Green (Energy Storage) and Cool Mint (Energy Grid).
The 2.5 dimensional illustrations took the most experimentation. It sits in between something that isn't quite flat and isn't quite 3D, with enough depth to feel real and also enough simplicity to comprehend what it represents.

Landing page design for Lumo — banking for freelance life
Banks sell control — dashboards, charts, a card floating at fifteen degrees. Freelancers don't want control over their money. They want to stop thinking about it in the gap between sending an invoice and the money landing.
That gap is what the page is built on. The product sits in a meadow instead of on a dark grid, because the promise isn't "manage your finances better" — it's "we handle the part that keeps you up." And the strongest line on the page isn't a feature: no waiting for Monday. Freelancers don't lose weekends to fees. They lose them to timing.
The proof follows the same rule. One freelancer, one number — 4% lost on every international payment. A percentage someone can check against their own account beats any adjective.
