Tanz mit Korina, Tanzschule
If you are lucky in life, you end up meeting whole-hearted people like Line Dance Teacher Korina. So of course when she started her own business 2022, I was there right by her side.

Already having a customer base and being all about seizing the moment, this online brand is Instagram-native.

Korina is bundle of energy – and it is positively contagious. The center of her branding had to be her. It had to reflect her energy, her youthfulness, her punchiness. I created a whole series of static and animated 'chibis' (simplified cartoon avatars), rounded up with some cartoony confetti.

A meticulous work of art direction at its best: entrusted with an expansion of Dyson's style guide. Tasked to seamlessly integrate a new product presentation section, the challenge is not to revolutionize, but to masterfully navigate the extensive and precise guidelines. It is the art of balance in a compliant mix of layout, art direction, and infographics, respecting the established rules while introducing a refreshing approach to product presentation. Witness the challenge of combining design innovation within the bounds of tradition.

The solo activity that gives me the most satisfaction is probably painting. The conditions alone that necessarily have to occur: the time, the room and the quiet to exercise. The rewards of a won challenge like giving an eye a lively feel, or a daring color combination that ends up working out way better than expected, are nothing compared to the meditative effects painting brings along.

For their 120th anniversary, Nellissen Interiors aimed to 'refresh the branding' and address a lack of pride in their visual identity. Launching a special collection to honor the true founder, Emily Nellissen, the brand sought to recognize her often overshadowed role. The new logo, inspired by 19th-century handwriting, embraces the brand's femininity, while a minimalistic portrait of Emily enhances the 'full' version of the mark for use in the anniversary year and special events.

Though I am not a Christian, rebranding the St. Andrews Orchestra in 2022 became more than a graphic design task. Balancing tradition with a modern, youthful look, my Bauhaus-inspired logo features bold shapes, maintaining a serious tone in black-and-white contrast. This design captures the essence of a traditional institution transitioning into modernism, offering a playful touch.
