What are the unwritten rules of good design?
Like everything, the labels and stickers that hide on the undersides and insides of our products have been considerately designed, often following strict brand and system rules.
I love systems, so typographic, grid-based design will always have a place in my heart. This is my small tribute to micrographics, each following the systems I've been seeing in the wild.
I'm a simple man: I see nice typo + microdesign = I press goat
My most recent packaging project:
Melabody: A modern body care brand created specifically for melanin-rich skin. The brand exists to challenge the “one-formula-fits-all” approach in skincare by offering deeply nourishing, science-backed products designed for skin of colour.
Very smart design!
Just wrapped a new branding project ⚡
DealDesk helps companies negotiate smarter SaaS dealswith a strong premise - “Every vendor has a Deal Desk. Buyers should too.”
The challenge? They needed to look premium enough for C-suite trust but modern enough to stand out. Go too corporate and you're just another boring procurement firm. Too startup-y and you lose the gravitas. Threading that needle was exactly the kind of ask that makes branding work so fun.
We’re now moving into web + asset design under my Design Support service - taking the brand from strategy into real-world touchpoints.

The DealDesk branding is so sharp! That balance of premium and modern is exactly right for a B2B SaaS brand — the dark teal palette and clean typography really communicate trust. Great work!
