Meet herewith.
A recent identity for a company that builds events made to outlast the day.
The goal was simple to say and hard to do: make a brand people remember without making it shout. herewith isn't in the business of one-night spectacle. They design events that stay with you, so the identity had to carry that same feeling. Present, confident, and still there in your memory long after everyone's gone home.
So I leaned into a palette that's colourful but composed, warm without tipping into noise. The wordmark is fully custom, with character worked into every letter so it feels like herewith and nothing else. Confident without shouting was the line I kept coming back to.
Built to be remembered long after the lights go down.
An events identity is mostly met at distance and in a hurry, on a lanyard, a stage screen, a sign at the end of a corridor, and that is usually where 'confident without shouting' gets tested hardest. The small 'h.' on the social tiles looks like your answer to that: is it a...
Good question. Yeah, the h. can work standalone, it's its own mark, not just a shrunk version of the wordmark. It is part of the whole identity. You can actually see it on the cards applied in the layout.
Thank you for comment Artur!
Looks amazing 🔥

For brand identity, I like to show mockups to test of the identity system: the logo, pattern, and color palette all needed to work at a much larger scale without feeling overdesigned.
That’s where a flexible brand system really starts to prove itself.
Powerful greenish look 👌
A little preview of something I’m working on.
These embroidered patches are a small part of a much larger brand system, but details like this matter. The challenge is making sure the identity still feels distinct and intentional when it moves from screen to something physical you can hold in your hand.
That’s where a strong brand system starts begins to prove itself. More soon :)
One of my first identity projects from 2021. 🥹
SVNT was a skincare brand built around inclusivity, accessibility, and shaping the future of beauty. My goal was to reflect that through a futuristic but clean visual identity, keeping the system modern and simple while giving the brand room to celebrate individuality.
Looking back at this project four years later, it’s interesting to see what decisions still feel relevant to me today.
Do you ever revisit your early work and realize your design instincts were already there?
Curious - how did you approach making futuristic not feel cold, to keep the inclusivity/accessibility warm? The balance here is really nice.
