The Noguchi Museum
Logo rebranding
For this project, I’ve taken on the challenge of revamping the logo for The Noguchi Museum. The museum provides a tranquil and contemplative environment, thoughtfully designed by Isamu Noguchi himself with its clean lines, open spaces, and abundant natural light.To add a modern flair to the rebranding, I drew inspiration from Noguchi’s contemporary sculptures. My logo references his famous Octetra sculpture, embodiying the colorful and geometric shapes. The design comes in two variations – a vibrant red, to match the playful sculpture, and a minimalist line form to compliment the aesthetic of the museum.

Soda Drop Caps
Typography
When designing my own drop caps, I went with an illustrative approach, where each character is a visual treat. Every letter is themed after a carbonated drink and follow the same style – rounded shapes decorated with fun elements like fruity accents and fizzy bubbles. My goal was to mix the art of typography with illustration to create art that might make you crave a sip of your favorite soda.

Hellish Hen Restaurant Branding
Graphic Design, Illustration, Logo, Branding
Hellish Hen is an eatery that's gained fame for its blazing chicken wings, guaranteed to ignite your taste buds like never before. The restaurant's branding features striking orange and black elements, creating an ambiance that radiates a bold, gritty, and fiercely intense atmosphere. I wanted the aesthetic to give off a sense of danger, as these wings are not for the light-hearted.

High on the Hog
Illustration
The expression "living life high on the hog" is all about those who revel in luxury. In my creative vision, I designed an image of a plump, stylish hog surrounded by wealth, dressed to impress, and bathing in champagne. This playful artwork graces a wine bottle, adding a touch of lively and whimsical flair, making it a captivating conversation piece for any occasion.
