Why Google’s "Subtle" Shift is a Huge Win for Design. 🎨

While the world seems to be moving toward "sad beige" minimalism and desaturated branding, Google just went the other way shifting from solid blocks to vibrant gradients.

In this video, I dive into why this matters. As a creator, I’m seeing a "colour fatigue" in the industry, and it’s refreshing to see a tech giant lean back into a spectrum of color.

I specialize in creating content that blends visual trends with cultural commentary. If your brand needs a voice that understands the "why" behind the "what," let’s chat.

Testing two hero layouts for Fincash. Same message, different visual flow. Which one feels clearer to you, left or right?

Right feels clearer. The diagonal phone composition adds movement and naturally guides the eye from headline → CTA → product. Feels more premium.

Visual identity system developed for @macunaima.ag.

We created a visual system that translates the agency’s positioning into a strong and adaptable graphic language. The hand-crafted logo sets the tone of the brand and allows for flexible and consistent applications across different touchpoints.
