My first time contributing design work to an open source project. Huge thanks to the Django Debug Toolbar team for trusting me to experiment and explore a visual identity for the project. It was a fun process working with a small team that has been maintaining this tool for years. The identity is built around visibility, illumination, and precision. I explored simple forms like rays, borders, and precise layouts to reflect the idea of revealing what is happening under the hood. Django Debug Toolbar is a long running tool that surfaces request data, SQL queries, and performance information directly in the browser while developing a Django app.

A personal art direction study inspired by Aperol.

Concept: “Fresh dip like a…🔥”

This project explores the refreshing sensation of summer — that instant feeling when you dive into a pool or take the first cold sip of a drink under the sun. The idea was to translate that moment visually through a mix of photography and bold graphic shapes.

By blending cut-out photography with fluid and geometric forms, the compositions create a sense of movement and immersion, as if the images themselves were dipping into color and freshness.

The goal was to create a playful and contemporary aesthetic that captures the light, social, and refreshing spirit associated with Aperol.

This is a personal creative exploration of how graphic forms and photography can merge to express the feeling of a refreshing summer “dip”.

Cool!!
