I absolutely love Italy - the language, the culture, and the whole atmosphere. I’ve just come back from Positano, and the Italian vibe inspired me to start working on a new brand identity concept.
A little bit of Italy, translated into design 🇮🇹
How many foreign languages do you speak? Let's share in comments
so simple yet so beautiful–– i've wanted to learn the language forever because of roots on my dad's side, & an app with such clean visuals genuinely would motivate me to engage longer! the palette + brand motifs you cite in particular caught my eye immediately. so unique for a language learning app!
Thank you Nicolette! I will do my best with this project. What features do you like in the learning apps? Personally I like clear learning paths so it's obvious what to study next and how you're progressing.
definitely agree! i'm also big on streak incentives, so any unique, engaging copy in notification popups that prompts me to screenshot is a big motivator, funny enough. if you need a silly little copywriter, the sicilian in me is happy to help out just for kicks!
Thanks, I really appreciate that! And I completely get what you mean those little moments of personality can make an app way more memorable than another generic “Don’t forget to study!” notification.
I might just take you up on that offer someday. 😄 A Sicilian-powered streak...

A closer look at the identity we designed for the Rylo rebrand.
I teamed up with @hunterthompson to shape the logo, typography, icon system, colour palette, and full visual identity.
Rylo came to us with a strong foundation, but the existing identity felt a little to clinical and lacked the personality to match the product.
So we rebuilt the logo and icon system around Rylo's core purpose: a letterform, an audio waveform, and two opposing shapes representing communication, all in one simple, distinctive mark.
That mark became the engine of the system, driving the wave patterns, graphic language, motion, and supporting assets into one cohesive identity.
One of those projects where a single idea grows into an entire visual language. Loved every minute.
Huge congrats to Rylo on raising $100M and making communication more accessible for those who need it most

I’ve designed two branding concepts, and I’d love your feedback. Which one do you think stands out more?

Superb execution!
Designed the complete product and brand identity for Awlo, an AI-powered job search platform that helps users find jobs faster by automating repetitive tasks. The project includes UX research, mobile app design, branding, logo design, app icon, design system, motion, and marketing assets, creating a cohesive experience across both the product and brand.
Great work, Marharyta! I’m really like this logo and clean design ✨
