Projects using Adobe After Effects in LelystadProjects using Adobe After Effects in LelystadA 45-second video for Savanah, a conceptual web design for a luxury fragrance inspired by the African desert and built around confidence and quiet strength.
The reel highlights the art direction, UI design, 3D, and motion design. I handled the project end-to-end, from the initial idea and concept to content creation and execution.
Most of the visuals (models, environments, mockups) were AI-generated and then manually refined. What stood out to me was how much iteration it takes to reach a consistent, high-quality visual language.

Services: Brand Identity, Packaging Design, Custom Iconography, Storefront Design, Merchandise
About the Project
Beam Coffee Bar is a modern, neighborhood coffee spot that doesn't take itself too seriously, but takes its coffee very seriously. The goal was to create an approachable, highly recognizable, and uplifting brand identity that brings a pop of color and personality to the daily coffee routine.
The Challenge
The third-wave coffee scene is often dominated by ultra-minimalist, moody, or hyper-industrial aesthetics. The challenge for Beam was to break the mold by designing a visual identity that feels incredibly fresh, playful, and inviting, while still communicating the high quality of their espresso and baked goods.
The Solution & Design Choices
Logo & Typography: The custom "beam" wordmark features chunky, irregular, "cut-out" style lettering. This organic, slightly imperfect typography gives the brand a human touch and a playful, laid-back energy.
Color Palette: I moved away from traditional coffee tones and introduced a signature, vibrant pastel pink paired with off-white and a deep, dark roast brown. This high-contrast palette makes the brand instantly recognizable and highly "Instagrammable."
Custom Iconography: To add charm across all touchpoints, I developed a set of quirky, hand-drawn line art icons featuring a croissant, a muffin, stacked coffee cups, a moka pot, and a stylized character enjoying a brew.
Packaging & Merchandise: The playful aesthetic was rolled out across various physical items, including pink "Snackbags" for pastries, custom coffee cups with personalized name spaces ("This is your Cappuccino, Laura"), branded receipts, and "beam & Friends" punch cards for community loyalty.
Storefront Design: The brand comes to life on the street level with a striking pink-and-white striped awning, crisp window decals featuring the custom iconography, and a clean, brightly lit shop sign that makes the café an unmissable local landmark.

Looking for a brand identity that stands out in a crowded market? Let's collaborate and bring your vision to life. This one started with a conversation about sound. About how certain periods just felt different. You can hear it instantly, not because it’s perfect, but because it has character. Today, you can make anything sound clean. But that doesn’t automatically give it feeling.
That’s the balance Next Movement is chasing.
A lot of their inspiration comes from specific moments in time: studios, gear, records that shaped how things used to sound.
To mirror that, I looked at design from those same eras. Not to copy it, but to understand its logic, the restraint, the structure, the intent behind it. From there, I combined it with a more contemporary approach. Something that feels precise and current, but still carries that sense of weight.
This is a short glimpse into that direction.
