This design presents time as a process of accumulation rather than disappearance. Each day leaves a trace, and each month becomes part of a larger visual sequence. Instead of turning pages, the user removes and inserts monthly sheets like slides in a projector. This action creates a clear rhythm of transition. The calendar encourages people to experience time not as something that is lost, but as something that builds gradually in layers.
Eau de LAmour is a quiet object, a botanical love letter shaped by plants. The fragrance and its packaging do not seek to impress, but to belong. Crafted solely from organic essential oils and free from synthetic additives, the purity of the formulation is reflected in the restraint of its design. Inspired by apothecary rituals and botanical traditions, soft surfaces, warm hues, and subtle detailing create a calm, intentional expression of luxury rooted in honesty and closeness to nature.
Infinite Borders is a brand identity for a strategy game set in the Three Kingdoms era. The brand graphic is derived from the pictographic characters of the name and from the grid square impression of strategy game play. Black, red and white, colors popular in the Han Dynasty, are used as the primary colors. Flat calligraphic brushstrokes serve as auxiliary elements.

Elixir is packaging created for a 20 year old Port wine. The design presents the wine as a concentrated extract that has been carefully preserved, recalling the legend of Casillero del Diablo, in which a fortified wine is guarded by the Devil. The letter X acts as a seal and signature. The front label is printed on dark grey self-adhesive paper with a fabric texture, using ten special colors, gold foil, embossing and varnish. The rigid double door box holds a drawer with a stopper for use after uncorking. A red satin ribbon recalls the history of the brand.
Pepsi NFL Limited Edition is a series of beverage cans created for the market in Mexico. Four cans honour four American football teams: the Dallas Cowboys, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Las Vegas Raiders and the New England Patriots. Each can uses the colour palette of its team. A dynamic illustration style shows players with exaggerated proportions to express the physical nature of the sport. The cans are made of aluminium and printed with high definition offset printing. The series was linked to a digital campaign and sold in stores and online.
Final visual outcome is reached by taking a symbol and turning it into a question mark by placing it on a smaller square below (an extracted 1/4 piece of a big square above it) and putting it on a tipping point while remaining in balance, creating a visual sensation of tension with a minimal rearrangement of elements. What Next logo, as well as the name, are in a way an oxymoron, a question and an answer both at once, creating friction. On its own, logo-sign is a simple, deliberate imperfection and a straight-forward communication vessel, striving to create a lot with little effort invested.
