Clearco (previously ClearBanc) is the largest ecommerce investor in the world. The creative direction pays homage to ClearBanc’s original branding that eluded to perforation, transparency, clartity, and builds onto this brand equity by flipping the switch, placing founders on the stage, shining the brightest lights onto them. As heros. As role models. As stars. Clearco is the evolution of all the data, all of the fundrasing, all of the knowledge, and all of the founder relationships ClearBanc have built.

Brand identity of Ukraine's premier Patlazhan Clinic, where plastic surgery meets precision and artistry. Tasked with conveying the delicacy of surgical procedures, I approached the brand identity with the precision of a surgeon. A notable challenge was the clinic's wordmark, where the 'L' and 'A' disrupted the visual balance. With a 'surgical' intervention, I redefined these letters, enhancing harmony and elegance. This meticulous approach extended to packaging and marketing materials, reflecting the clinic's commitment to professionalism and excellence.
