The original logo — minimalistic and playful — had already made its mark on wooden tags and physical pieces. In this rebrand, the aim was to preserve that core essence while refining the visual identity to be more cohesive and versatile,
The new wordmark, developed with custom typography and tailored for more institutional contexts, became the primary logo. The updated identity features a bold, expressive color palette, used as an accent to bring life to details and icons while preserving the clarity of the black-and-white foundation, that clearly reinforce the studio’s distinct personality.
Citruscake remains exactly what it’s always been — just with more precision, greater presence, and the same unmistakable charm.

Each year, Incandescent invites an artist to tell a story—capturing the spirit of the past year and offering hope for the next.
This edition follows DAR, an organization that restores degraded land, reviving not only the soil but its history.
I created hand-painted ink and watercolor illustrations to trace this journey. It begins in the stillness of night—where seeds are planted and ancestry anchors the path ahead. Each image becomes a quiet metaphor for regeneration, told through delicate lines, layered textures, and symbolic form.")

Structured in short fragments, the text follows Robin on their quest with a luminous beetle, part guide, part enigma.
These fragments work like visual notations, quick sketches on a page, suggesting that Robin’s way of thinking (and Duclos’ way of writing) is inseparable from the act of drawing.
Between science and fable, reality and dream, the work explores themes of loneliness, belonging, and liberation — inviting readers to see nature as a mirror of inner states and possible paths.")
