Black consumes, light carve. With that being said the raw textures of reality comes to life.
Started working on a project called Light & Shadow some time ago with the idea of capturing everyday objects and people experiencing life and how I would experience them,too.
Light and shadow plays such a large role in day-to-day living, often shaping the spaces we walk past without a second glance. In the harsh grains of a surface, a soft reflective curve of a reflection, or even the abrupt lines where darkness takes over.
This series is my way of slowing down, stripping away the noise and letting contrast tell the story.
More Frames and thoughts coming soon!

Latin tradition, reimagined.
Love, Coco brings Latin-inspired desserts to the Canadian market through a contemporary visual identity.
The challenge was to build a brand that communicated the quality of its ingredients and its Latin roots without relying on familiar visual clichés. Instead of recreating a traditional aesthetic, the identity needed to feel current and distinctive for a Canadian audience.
The process began by analyzing the visual codes commonly used by dessert and Latin food brands, identifying what to keep and what to avoid. This research informed a visual system built around contrasting typography, a vibrant yet refined color palette, and compositions inspired by classical still lifes.
These design decisions place the fruits at the center of the identity, highlighting the quality and origin of the ingredients while giving the brand a distinctive visual language.
That peach and melon color story feels specific to the brand's actual story, doesn't read like generic tropical at all. What was the trickiest part of translating Latin visual cues without falling back on the usual cliches?
ORBIS was built around a simple belief: every brand needs direction.
In an ever-changing communication landscape, businesses need more than visual appeal—they need a clear position and a recognizable presence. ORBIS was created as a creative studio focused on shaping that direction, transforming strategy, communication, and design into meaningful and lasting brand experiences.
Its visual identity is inspired by the concept of an orbit: a continuous path toward a purpose. The primary symbol represents an open trajectory, expressing movement, growth, and the pursuit of new opportunities. Every typographic decision reinforces that concept; from the open symbol to the upward motion embedded in the letterforms, the identity subtly communicates progress while maintaining clarity and balance.
Rather than creating logos, ORBIS develops visual systems that can evolve alongside the brands they represent. Whether through branding, digital experiences, environmental graphics, or communication, every element becomes part of a unified strategy.
Because design isn't the destination.
Direction is.
love this typography, it's so distinctive!
