What does the exact moment you fell for this craft actually look like?
I turn 30 on the 25th this month, which puts me a decade out from the university where all of this actually started. 🤯
This collages keep alive that era exactly as I remember it: the all nighters that blurred into the next morning's class, the first typeface I picked apart just to understand why it worked, my first real typographic composition, the friends who shared this with me and the illustrations I was too nervous to show anyone at the time.
None of it was good yet. But every decision I make now traces back to those lovely moments which I now treasure 🥹
What's the first project that made you realize this was it for you?
For me it was an early identity project where I ended up hand drawing every icon because nothing off the shelf fit the brand. The set was rough, but watching someone navigate the work using marks I had invented was the first time design felt less like decoration and more like a...

Created in Canva with a focus on bold typography, appetizing product presentation, and strong visual hierarchy.
What do you think: which layout would make you stop scrolling? 🍔
One thing I’ve noticed after working with different SaaS, AI, and technical startups is how surprisingly similar their branding can become.
Different products.
Different industries.
Different technologies.
Yet somehow, the logos often start looking the same: abstract gradients, connected nodes, neural-network-inspired shapes, generic geometric symbols, or the usual “futuristic” aesthetic.
And I get why.
When you’re building a technical product, it’s easy to rely on visual language that immediately says AI, technology, innovation.
But the problem is: when everyone speaks the same visual language, nobody really stands out.
A strong tech logo doesn’t necessarily need to look technical.
It needs to be recognizable, distinctive, scalable, and connected to the company’s actual identity.
That’s something I’ve become much more conscious of when designing for SaaS and AI companies, creating a visual identity that feels like their company, rather than simply another “AI startup.”
That distinction matters on the website too. A recognizable logo can still get lost if the headline, typography and product story all feel interchangeable. One useful check: hide the company name and ask what on the page could only belong to this particular product.
