A refined brand identity designed for a modern needlepoint store, where tradition meets thoughtful design.
This project focused on creating a visual language that feels timeless yet contemporary, honoring the craft while inviting a new generation of makers in. From the monogram and typography to tactile stationery and storefront applications, every detail was crafted to reflect patience, precision, and the beauty of slow, handmade work.
A brand rooted in craft, calm, and considered design, made to last 🤍

One of our favorite branding projects to date. ☕️
We created Dozkafe to feel warm, welcoming, and full of personality. From the expressive logotype to the earthy packaging and playful brand touchpoints, every detail was designed to make the café experience feel memorable long before the first sip.
There's something special about building a brand that lives beyond the logo and creates a feeling people remember. We'd love to explore more hospitality brands in this creative direction.

Going minimal here. The Palm Retreat mark has that right balance of restraint and character, the letterforms do a lot of work without needing the icon to carry it. The Stanford one reads more template-heavy than designed.
Your design mentors need this, and honestly, you do too.
I surveyed and spoke with 20+ designers, motion designers, and animation experts, as well as everyone working with us at The RLVNT Studios.
One recurring pain point kept showing up: having the right visual, but not the right style.
"Hey GPT, add a new effect to this image, but don't change anything else."
I heard variations of that request over and over again. It made me realize that AI has fundamentally changed how creatives approach their workflows. People know what they want, but getting there is still frustratingly inefficient.
After spending years testing AI tools, creative software, and motion workflows, I knew there was an opportunity to build something better.
That's how Velox was born.
Velox is a media manipulation solution that lets creatives upload an image or video and instantly explore professional-grade styling, effects, and enhancements without spending hours experimenting, prompting, or searching for the perfect workflow.
It comes packed with 100+ curated styles and 15+ professional effects inspired by techniques used by leading motion designers, graphic designers, and animation experts worldwide. No API limits. No token anxiety. No endless prompting. Just creative control when you need it.
I invited 20 creatives to test the platform so far, and the feedback has been incredible. The biggest takeaway? It saves hours of effort while making high-end creative execution accessible to anyone.
For motion-focused creatives, Velox also includes animated SVG strokes that can bring life to both images and videos. You can control entry states, exit states, post-exit behavior, styling, and animation characteristics with ease.
The goal wasn't to replace creativity; it was to remove the friction between having an idea and bringing it to life.

The insight from your survey is spot on. The gap isn't skill anymore, it's translation between what you have and what you want. The animated SVG stroke control for motion work is what I'd actually use day-to-day. Congrats on the launch.
