Minimal monochrome visuals, bold typography, and soft gradients for a new audio brand. I designed the full
Oasis Audio approached me at the pre-launch stage with a clear vision: to position themselves as the refined alternative in a crowded headphone market. The challenge was to create a brand system that felt premium without being pretentious, and minimal without being cold. I developed a complete visual language built around high contrast, precise typography, and gradient-based motion graphics. The identity system included logo

Industrial Facility
Product Design • UI/UX • Brand Guidelines
A tactile, almost analog-feeling product identity for a digital-first brand. Clean product renders, precise iconography, and a flexible layout system for web, print, and packaging.
Dune Devices wanted to bring back the joy of focused listening in an age of distraction. Their portable music player needed a brand identity that honored analog tactility while embracing digital precision. I built a system around geometric simplicity, restrained color (black, white, one accent), and ultra-clear iconography. The identity translated seamlessly across contexts: sleek product renders for their site, embossed packaging details for retail, and modular UI components for their app interface. I also developed a comprehensive brand book and asset library so their internal team could maintain visual consistency as they scaled. The result feels intentional, timeless, and refreshingly un-tech-bro.

Custom Residential • Masonry StructuralAn exclusive mountain retreat featuring architectural concrete walls, floor-to-ceiling glass, and structuralSet on a challenging hillside terrain in North America, The Ridge Club project required specialized geotechnical engineering and custom structural masonry. Our crew excavated over 15,000 cubic yards of rock before pouring cantilevering concrete foundations designed to anchor the multi-level residence securely. The
Subtle, light-driven photography and a quiet typographic system to position Opal as a calm,commerce visuals.
Opal came to me with a clear ask: their skincare line was gentle, effective, and ingredient-focused, but their visual identity felt generic and overlooked. I redesigned everything from the ground up, starting with a new logotype that felt softer and more considered. The photography direction emphasized natural light and minimal styling—no aggressive shadows or clinical backdrops. I designed a label system that worked across multiple product formats
