RUDE OLIVE 🫒
Salty. Briny. Unapologetic.
Not every brand has to be sweet. Sometimes, a little attitude is the whole point.
For Rude Olive, I created a bold and playful brand identity that embraces the olive’s unapologetic personality—chunky typography, expressive mascot, and a vibrant color palette that stands out on the shelf while staying true to the product.
A brand that’s a little rude… but impossible to ignore.
What do you think of this direction? 👀

the name alone does half the work. love that the mascot actually has a bit of attitude instead of being cute for the sake of it. would love to see it on the jar lid too
Wrapping up another brand identity project for a workforce management company.
We're currently putting together the full case study, but here's an early look at some of the visuals. Really pleased with how this one has come together!
We explored several distinct creative directions before arriving at the final identity. And there's plenty of interesting work that didn't make the cut.
While we prepare the full case study, I'm thinking of sharing some of those rejected directions and the thinking behind them.
Would you be interested in seeing what didn't make it?
Good branding isn’t just about how a logo looks. It’s about what it represents.
Sharing one of our recent projects: NEXU, a fintech brand identity built around connection, trust, and opportunity.
The idea was to create a visual identity that makes finance feel more human and approachable. The symbol brings together the gesture of reaching out and the strength of a bridge, representing the connection between people, capital, and opportunity.
From the logo concept to the broader visual identity, every detail was designed to communicate confidence, clarity, and progress.
It’s always rewarding to see how a simple visual idea can tell a much bigger story.
Would love to hear what you think!

Which ORBIT pulls you in: the quiet one or the loud one? ✨
One name, two directions. Same idea, an object in motion around a center.
A → Heavy extended sans on black. The orbit is built into the O, a ring with a single satellite. Compact, graphic, impossible to ignore.
B → Light, high-contrast serif with a hairline arc and a tiny spark. The orbit is a gesture, a trail you almost miss. Elegant, airy, a little mysterious.
