Every strong brand starts with a raw idea.
Here is a glimpse into my visual identity design process: from sketch to the final version.
Simplicity is often the hardest stage to reach.
What is your go-to-tool for early sketches?
Brand Identity & Packaging Design
A complete visual identity and packaging concept for Cerveja do Bolo, including branded packaging, merchandise, and outdoor signage. I developed the visual direction and applied the brand consistently across multiple touchpoints to create a cohesive and recognizable identity.
Which hero direction feels right for this founder-focused brand?
While working on the homepage for Sean Parsons, a brand focused on empowering non-technical founders to launch tech startups, I explored two different visual directions for the hero section. Same message, same structure, just a different mood and color system.
Option 1 - Warm Olive. Dark, grounded, and editorial, giving a warm, established, expert feel.
Option 2 - Light Purple. Clean, modern, and vibrant, giving a fresh, SaaS-like, approachable feel.
Would love your honest UX/UI take, which direction feels more trustworthy, engaging, and aligned with a founder-focused brand, and why?
Rather than following the typical loud adventure aesthetic, we kept the system clean, modern, and confident, reflecting XNOMAD's idea of quiet luxury and freedom.
The identity was built around a distinctive X, supported by a minimal wordmark, bold blue palette, typography, graphic patterns, and applications across digital and physical touchpoints.
Wake Up Anywhere.
One of those projects where simplicity did most of the talking.
