I am developing an original adult fantasy novel set in a world trapped in an artificial, generations-long winter. Ancient volcanic infrastructure once distributed heat across the land, but a powerful ruler seized the volcanic stronghold and redirected its warmth toward elite settlements. Now survival itself, heat, food, shelter, and movement, is controlled by those in power.
The story follows Solene, a practical and risk-averse young woman forced to leave the safety of her settlement after her brother is selected in a deadly emergency lottery. Carrying journals connected to the original heat network, she joins a dangerous expedition to uncover the truth about the winter and restore the stolen warmth.
For this project, I am developing the novel’s plot, characters, mythology, geography, political systems, survival rules, and extreme-cold environments. My work includes long-form fiction, narrative structure, character development, immersive worldbuilding, scene planning, and research into Arctic survival, geothermal systems, cold-weather settlements, and human behavior under scarcity.
At its core, the story explores concentrated power, the hoarding of survival resources, learned helplessness, grief, hope, vulnerability, and the conflict between safety and freedom.

Turning Consumer Brands into Category Leaders
"Your packaging might be invisible. Not bad. Not ugly. Just... forgettable."
It's one of the more uncomfortable conversations to have with a client — when the work looks fine but strategically misses the mark. When it fits the category so well it disappears into it.
The shelf is a crowded place. Every category has a look, and most brands follow it. That's exactly the problem.
When I look at how well a package stands out, I focus on four things: color, shape, typography, and positioning. Not as design choices — as competitive advantages. The question isn't whether each element looks good. It's whether the combination is unmistakably theirs.
If you're working on a packaging project and want a second opinion on where it lands competitively — reach out.

I recently took on the 8x Brand Identity Challenge 2026 and rebuilt the brand’s visual identity in just one day.
From rethinking the visual language to building a cohesive identity system and testing how it travels across touchpoints, the goal was something bold, distinctive and flexible, while staying true to the essence of 8x.
It was a race against time, a lot of creative exploration, and a great way to push myself. What you’re seeing is a glimpse of the final brand book I submitted.
I’d love your feedback. What works, what doesn’t, and what you’d push further? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
