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 suite, brand guidelines, packaging design

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.

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 (bottles, tubes, jars) while keeping a
