Intentionality. Everything beautiful in Italy oozes with this idea. So when Suite437 asked me to build a coffee brand about sprezzatura, every detail mattered.
(And it gave me an excuse to walk around Milan for a few days.)

Hey Contra community! 💛
New case study is live. Worked with Captain's Essentials to build their brand identity from the ground up — 30+ AI-generated images, a full creative direction, and an Instagram that went from 1,700 to 10K followers.
Nice work on this really clean execution from identity to content rollout. The jump in engagement shows the strategy is doing the heavy lifting, not just the visuals.
HOFF Vichy Capsule — Brand Experience & Gift Concept
As part of a creative proposal requested for HOFF’s Vichy Capsule, I explored how the collection could extend beyond product into an event experience.
I created a coffee invitation and a premium breakfast gift box as a warm welcome moment for guests, combining gingham patterns, soft yellow tones, Mediterranean breakfast references and clean editorial product styling.
Role: creative direction, AI product visualisation, packaging concept and visual storytelling.
A multi-property real estate operator came to me last month asking for a logo refresh. We never touched the logo.
The logo wasn't the problem. The problem was that every property had its own headline style, its own button shape, and three different fonts in three different listing decks. Investors couldn't tell which properties belonged to the same operator.
That's not a creative problem. That's a governance problem.
We wrote a one-page system. Five rules. What the headline does. How the button looks. Which font, full stop. Where the operator's name sits on the brochure. What the photo treatment is.
Six weeks later they closed on their eighth property. The acquisition memo was the first one a private investor said "looked like a real platform" instead of a portfolio of one-off deals.
The logo is still the same logo it was eighteen months ago.
Most brand work that gets billed as identity is actually governance work in a trench coat. The companies that read as one company across every surface aren't the ones with the best logo. They're the ones where every surface obeys five rules.
If you've got more than three surfaces and can't name those rules in one breath, the problem isn't your logo.
excellent
