Minimal monochrome visuals, bold typography, and soft gradients for a new audio brand. I designed the full identity, packaging

Oasis Audio approached me at the pre-launch stage with a clear vision: to position themselves as the refined alternative in a crowded headphone market. The challenge was to create a brand system that felt premium without being pretentious, and minimal without being cold. I developed a complete visual language built around high contrast, precise typography, and gradient-based motion graphics. The identity system included logo suite, brand guidelines, packaging design for three product lines, e-commerce assets, and

Dune Devices wanted to bring back the joy of focused listening in an age of distraction. Their portable music player needed a brand identity that honored analog tactility while embracing digital precision. I built a system around geometric simplicity, restrained color (black, white, one accent), and ultra-clear iconography. The identity translated seamlessly across contexts: sleek product renders for their site, embossed packaging details for retail, and modular UI components for their app interface. I also developed a comprehensive brand book and asset library so their internal team could maintain

Opal came to me with a clear ask: their skincare line was gentle, effective, and ingredient-focused, but their visual identity felt generic and overlooked. I redesigned everything from the ground up, starting with a new logotype that felt softer and more considered. The photography direction emphasized natural light and minimal styling—no aggressive shadows or clinical backdrops. I designed a label system that worked across multiple product formats (bottles, tubes, jars) while keeping a unified look. Typography was kept quiet and

ABOUT

Behind the stick figure tech shirts

I'm a freelance illustrator and former dev who turned burnout into vector art tees. I draw simple stick figures experiencing existential software dread, print them on comfortable dark tees, and ship them to engineers worldwide.

No overly complex illustrations or colorful fluff. Just razor-sharp tech satire, clean vector lines, and high-quality cotton shirts that fit right. Every design tells a real story from the trenches of software engineering.

PROCESS

How a tech joke becomes a t-shirt

From a painful bug on production to a finished vector shirt in your hands — here is how every drop happens.

STEP 1

Suffer tech bug

A real tech disaster happens: broken pipelines or merge conflicts. I jot down the absurd humor right away.

STEP 2

Vector stick draft

I draw minimalist stick figures and pair them with punchy monochrome typography in my vector app.

STEP 3

Screen printing

High-density white ink screen-printed on dark gray or black premium cotton blanks for crisp contrast.

STEP 4

Wear & wash test

Every sample goes through heavy washing to verify the shirt stays soft and the vector graphic stays razor sharp.

STEP 5

Drop and delivery

Limited apparel drops arrive at your door packed in dark poly-mailers with custom sticker extras.
