Cover image for We partnered with Gaia Naturelle,
We partnered with Gaia Naturelle, a Slovenian skincare brand, to design a brand and packaging system built from wood — a material almost no one in cosmetics uses. The challenge was making it work as actual packaging, not as a gimmick. It had to feel genuinely natural up close, hold up across a full product range, and still earn attention from across a retail shelf. The identity is built around a single typographic mark designed to survive any surface — printed on paper, burnt into wood, or stamped into handmade soap. That consistency became the spine of the system, letting the range feel like one family across very different materials and finishes. The packaging itself is local wood, finished with custom laser-engraved grain patterns that give each piece its own character. Gold-foil labels carry product information and bring just enough contrast to keep the range legible at a distance. Every decision was about restraint — fewer elements, used with intent. The result is a skincare brand that doesn't look like other skincare brands. Natural where it should be, deliberate everywhere else, and unmistakable on a shelf.

Cover image for Conceptual Work: Google Nearme -
Conceptual Work: Google Nearme - Quick Help UI/UX App Design Concept Nearme is a conceptual mobile platform designed to redefine how people connect with their immediate surroundings by enabling fast discovery of nearby help, services, events, and peer support in one unified experience. Key Features Instant Request Flow allows users to create and publish a need in under a minute, reducing friction and improving conversion. Visual Map Interface displays nearby helpers and opportunities through interactive geolocated pins for intuitive discovery. Interest Based Filters help users quickly navigate categories like community help, free exchanges, and local events. Trust Driven Profiles include verification badges, distance, ratings, and identity elements to build confidence in interactions. Design Approach The process began with research and benchmarking against local service platforms and Material Design principles. Wireframing focused on optimizing the Quick Help flow for one handed use and minimal cognitive load. High fidelity design introduced a clean, gradient supported visual system to highlight map and profile elements while maintaining accessibility. Motion design was a key layer, using subtle animations for incoming pins, location lock feedback, and real time pulse effects to create a sense of live activity and responsiveness.
