A t-shirt design for mobile pizza popup. We created a character based on the owner's photo and completed the illustration with bold, retro, outstanding typography. This project was so much fun!

Year: 2022
Yay! Starting in July, 99designs offering our designer community mental health and wellness workshops run by Hey Mate. The workshops are to be helpful, offering advice and tools they can take away and use daily, as well as an opportunity to interact and share experiences in a safe space.
Was needed a cool bright colorful design, something designers wouldn't want to miss and looks so awesome they feel compelled to register. The main point of the illustrations you have to love and care about your mental health to let yourself create and do amazing work.")

Casper, 2023
Logo, Packaging
Introducing the Frenzi brand! The founders of Frenzi passionately advocate for the widespread use of olive oil on every dish. They firmly believe that the exceptional quality of extra virgin olive oil not only offers health benefits but also delivers an unparalleled flavor that deserves to be savored generously.
In the course of this project, we not only conceptualized and crafted the Frenzi wordmark but also brought to fruition the innovative concept of packaging olive oil in cans for convenient refills into their signature bottles. This project felt like a small challenge for me, requiring the discovery of a bold, masculine design voice that seamlessly blended minimalism and contemporary aesthetics.")

Project: Logo & Packaging Design
Year: 2021
Wally's produces high-quality and unique flavors of Vegan Ice Cream in Montreal. This brand is a tasty, healthy, plant-based alternative to usual ice cream!
We tried to create something really cool along with a retro-inspired character concept. As a starter point, we developed an ice cream guy character logo, \"Wally\", which is also becoming the main image of the packaging design.
On the packaging design, we thought about how to make it more interesting - what if \"Wally\" will be interacting with all of the main flavor ingredients? So, we played this idea with falling, riding, flying, juggling and I think these gave a unique touch to each flavor, staying in the one general design at the same time.")

The goal was to mix calm, warm, and relaxing vibes while having a joyful and playful design. So, we developed two product scents designed with abstract backgrounds which evoke the day & night images.

Year: 2022

\"I have loved snacking my whole life, especially anything with the label “junk food”. However as I’ve gotten older I felt immediate impacts of eating the entire family-size bag of hot Cheetos and also the immediate guilt that follows\". - says Gina, the founder of mushrooms.
The snack market is huge and continues to grow, so it was necessary to create a bright, fun, and creative packaging design to make it stand out from the crowd of jerky snacks.")

Year: 2022
\"Tip-Top Tabletop is a small company with big ideas. As I embark on this adventure of the gaming community, I hope to expand my product offerings and collaborate with the community to spotlight F.L.G.S (friendly local games stores), designers, artists, writers, reviewers, and more\". - Jenna, the brand founder
The logo concept is a brand name which was a little shaken by hands and rolled on the table like dice cubes. The dice are more often used in board games, so it is a connection to the industry. The number of the dice symbolizes the three brand T's - Tip Top Tabletop.
Tthe goal of the logo animation was to create something simple, short, and eyecatching, to use it as a video opening-ending or social media, where everything is going so fast. So I decided to make the logo concept live, considering the final usage needs.")
