Projects

2022

Getting a mortgage nowadays can be a hassle. There are many hoops buyers have to go through to come in contact with a lender. Propd seeks to shatter that barrier. My duty was to communicate how Propd optimises buyer-lender transactions.

2021

I created a complete and detailed brand experience for Adoxx.
The visual system communicates a powerful message throughout its website, social media platforms, and brand collaterals.

2021

I designed Lavine’s visual identity from the ground up. I captured the brand foundations and distilled them into all brand touchpoints, such as the logo and marketing collateral.

2020

TimeCube is a tech brand that focuses on creating cloud solutions for startups. However, the visual identity is meant to be a radical shift from the 'norm' accepted in the tech space. A professional and friendly identity needed to be developed.
