The client wanted a simple, sophisticated logo that shows a trustworthy top quality company. The design is clean, geometric with a timeless feel based on the classic diamond shape.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/90/90154/attachment_90154948 "This logo was designed for a brazilian consulting company. The client wanted a simple logo that borrows from the iconic bay sunset of their location and reflects confidence, happiness and energy. I worked with the bay & sunset idea to create an abstract symbol that symbolizes the company´s values and voice. The bottom part represents the bay and the sea and creates a stable base in blue tones that show confidence and strength. The top part represents the sun/sunset with a more open shape and vivid colors to show energy, growth and happiness.
The icon also can be seen as an eye: a symbol showing how the company focuses on the execution to provide results that are real (can be seen).")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/65/65544/attachment_65544040 "Modern and clean geometric packaging design for the condom brand Love Plus. The client wanted a new look for their products that reflects the current trends, yet is serious and appealing to smart, sexually responsible people. The product should look pharmaceutical and suggest confidence and safety.
The design is based on geometric shapes that represent two heart beats. This concept is personalized for each package by a different color and pattern, but remains recognizable throughout the range.
During this contest the first 3 out of 7 SKUs were designed. The rest of the products as well as some refinements were made via 1:1 projects in collaboration with the Love Plus team.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/88/88461/attachment_88461857 "The scope of this project was to design a homepage for Lurn, a company that offers training and coaching services for entrepreneurs.
The client wanted a design that reflects the community driven character of the company and feels current, yet remains informative. I designed a clean and structured layout that allows a lot of content to be displayed in a way that is easy to read and understand. The different sections introduce the visitors to the variety of services and activities of the company while keeping a consistent look and feel. Working with the brand colors I used blue and grey tones for the main structure and yellow to highlight the call-to-actions. The photos play an important role in the design to help visualize the community spirit and the unique experience the company offers to its members.")

The client and author of the book \"Finding Your Path\" was looking for a simple but unique cover design, that would complement the meaning of the book, but is also visually appealing to young people and their environment (relatives and friends).
The main illustration represents the journey from school to adulthood in a positive way and it expands to the back cover. The style is fresh, simple and happy. The 2-color limitation was a challenge that lead to a design that uses contrast and negative space in a playful way.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/68/68977/attachment_68977251 "A modern and clean logo for a crowdfunding platform that represents the collaboration and the connection that make a project come to life . The different parts of the design symbolize the crowd, the participation, while united all together they create a symbol like a star, the success. The style is modern and fresh, yet serious and memorable.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/63/63062/attachment_63062375 "A modern, minimal and unique pizza takeaway packaging concept.
This project was about designing a custom and attractive pizza packaging.
The packaging has 3 parts. First, the main box with a window that folds and allows the brand to be seen through it. Second, an insert that works both as a paper base for the pizza as well as a paper dish for consuming it, as it is perforated and can be cut off with each slice. Third, a wrap that can be personalized for each pizza type, by color and text.
The packaging concept is represented as an isometric design to give a better understanding . The files delivered to the client included the die-line for each packaging element.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/84/84922/attachment_84922425 "For this project the client requested a modern, fresh label. It should be clean and simple and ideally highlight the product’s ingredients.
My idea was to emphasize through minimal graphics, color and typography the ingredients and the layers of the product so that the label is both visually appealing and informative. One side of the label shows the visual representation of the layers while the other using the same color code shows the main ingredients at a glance.")
