I set out to create a piece that bridges the gap between childlike wonder and the secret, unseen magic of nature.

This creature isn't just a bird, it’s the spirit of curiosity itself. I brought it to life with vibrant, bioluminescent pastels and soft, luminous light to make the forest feel like a place where dreams gather when no one is watching. Its wide, expressive eyes and gentle head tilt are meant to invite the viewer into a personal moment with the impossible asking us to pause, look a little closer, and remember the quiet magic hidden in the world around us.

Jugnu is an inclusive clay-play concept designed for neurotypical and neurodivergent children.

The project explored how a product could make creative play more engaging, tactile, and inclusive through its sensory experience. Inspired by the firefly, or jugnu, the brand represents the light and individuality within every child. The clay itself glows in the dark, adding an element of surprise and playfulness to the experience while reinforcing this idea of finding and expressing the light within.

I developed the brand identity, kit materials, packaging, and brand photography, with the packaging designed to transform into an interactive board game, giving it a second life as part of the play experience.

Designed across: Branding · Packaging · Visual Identity · Product Experience · Photography A project where I fell in love with brand identity design. JUGNU has a piece of my heart.

The packaging turning into a board game might be the strongest branding decision here - the identity keeps working after the unboxing instead of ending up in the bin. Did the glow-in-the-dark clay come first, or did the firefly metaphor lead you to it?

This project was printed using silkscreen printing and bound together as a postcard book. To extend the forest motif into the printed matter, I combined rough-textured paper with ink to evoke the tactile quality of the forest.
