Mono Pizza is a brand identity created for a pizzeria in the United Kingdom. The name joins the words Mona Lisa and pizza, linking fine art and cuisine. The logo merges the face of the Mona Lisa with the round shape of a pizza. The mark is drawn with the monoline technique and regular graphic shapes, so the calm gaze is suggested without fine detail. Only three colors are used, and the contrast between them completes a clear and minimal composition. The identity is applied to pizza packaging of 320 by 320 by 40 millimeters, printed with Pantone inks.
Speech Bubbie is a typeface designed for Latin letters and Chinese characters. The speech bubble is a graphic convention used in comic book dialogue, and letterforms also suggest emotion in writing. The connection between these two graphic elements led to a new structure for letters and characters based on the comic book form. Strokes are simplified into generic speech bubble shapes, while still following the direction of the original strokes, so readability is preserved. The typeface was first drawn by hand and then produced with vector software.

Printed items include business cards and postal pieces on black paper, produced by letterpress with hot stamping and closed with a wax seal. The identity was developed to express sophistication and exclusivity.
Sparrow Branding is a corporate identity created for a Tokyo-based advertising production company founded in 2020. The identity covers the logo, the main visuals and the stationery. A sparrow, the origin of the company name, is shown with a pine tree as the symbol tree. The concept comes from a story in which a pine tree protects a sparrow from all harm. Real pine branches, arranged by a flower arrangement artist, and a realistic sparrow model were photographed instead of using computer graphics. The visual tone is strong and serious rather than cute.
Pattern Play is a set of playing cards and a calendar designed to bring color into daily life. The playing cards carry 54 unique illustrations in place of standard suits. The court cards are inspired by kaleidoscopes, while the number cards show irregular patterns and shapes. The cards are printed on 310 gsm waterproof black core stock with a matte finish and rounded corners. The calendar enlarges 12 of the artworks on 250 gsm specialty paper with a tear-off line, so each sheet can also be used as a poster. The design aims to add positivity to ordinary days.
Second Hand Life is a poster series about the way people receive fragmented information. The series contains twenty A3 posters, arranged to form one main visual, and is accompanied by a mounted and bound book. Language is turned into visual graphics through binary code, where the symbols one and zero also stand for true and false in logical operations. This link reflects how judgement is shaped by the information that is accepted. The posters and the book ask for closer attention to a social issue, because a fragmented view of information can replace a complete one.
Miga is a brand identity design developed for an electronic cigarette brand. The updated identity refines the typeface and unifies the logo, giving an immediate brand impression. For the Latin letters, stroke ratios and corner angles are adjusted so the logo relates closely to a smile symbol and recalls the outline of melon vines. For the Chinese characters, strokes are combined with the same symbols and the spacing is regulated, producing rounded and readable forms. The vector logo can be printed at any size and used on light or dark backgrounds.
Dalian Seafood is a brand identity and packaging design for ready-to-eat marine products.

The packaging is digitally printed with a matte finish on recyclable materials, and the pull-out gift box is easy to open.

This brand identity was created for a genotyping service, by which predisposition to possible genetic diseases can be detected. Just like the DNA structure, the design concept was also built upon a system of codes, namely specially designed Morse codes representing the letters of alphabet. Any word can be visualized this way, turning a static logo into a dynamic identity. The logo, which is the name of the Client written by the codes, takes the double-helical structure shape of the DNA. This is how the business of the Client is reflected both conceptually and visually in the identity.
