Logo Design and Personal Branding

I believe every designer should dedicate some time to reflect on personal branding: Who am I? How do I want others to perceive me? As part of my personal branding journey, I crafted a logo that encapsulates my essence. My logo is inspired by the Jaguar, a creature I've always admired for its intelligence, majesty, and elegance. Here, you see the logo in various combinations, showcasing how the logo can seamlessly integrate into different mediums, from magazines to webpages and even clothes.

Magazine Layout

​

As someone who grew up in Norway, Scandinavian summers hold a special place in my heart. Floral scents, pink sunsets, and grandma's strawberry jam. The colors, images, and text are all carefully selected to reflect this concept. I envision this magazine as a Spring/Summer edition, available across Europe.​

​

Inside the magazine is an article titled "Runway Revolution: Copenhagen is Redefining Fashion Week with Its Low-Impact Standards." Choosing a socially relevant and fashion-related article was very important to me. Highlighting Copenhagen connects the article to Scandinavia as well.​

My Audrey Heptburn Moment

During Chicago Fashion Week 23/24, I was lucky enough to represent Chicago Fashion Bar LLC as one of their resident models. Being a resident model gave me a huge insight into the fashion industry, from photo shoots to catwalks and events. I also met a lot of inspiring and talented people. One of them was photographer David Bourne. One day, David called me with an intriguing project proposal centered around Audrey Hepburn and pink bows - and of course, I said yes!

Together, we created a series of photos named "My Audrey Hepburn Moment." Our objective was to capture the essence of Audrey Hepburn's iconic Pink Hat portrait. We focused on l
ines, Shadows, colors, and light to recreate its visual allure.

Web Design

In 1991, my mom and dad bought a resort on a small Island named Boracay. It's an attractive and exotic place located in the Philippines. To honor my parents' hard work and dedication, I decided to make a mockup and modernize the resort's webpage, which I believe could've been improved for quite a time. It still carries the history and charm of the resort, which is very important to my parents. However, I have made it easier to navigate and more aesthetically pleasing. In this mockup, you can see how the webpage would appear on a monitor compared to a tablet or a phone.

Book Cover Design

1984 is a dystopian masterpiece written by George Orwell. I read it for the first time when I was 15 years old, and it made me shiver down my spine. I wondered why none of my classmates had heard about the book. This was my motive for my Book Cover Design. I want the design to appeal to the younger generation, specifically High Schoolers. The cover is minimalistic, but at the same time, dramatic and mysterious. The TV on the front is a handmade drawing symbolizing how "the government actively watches over you" as George Orwell writes himself.

Package Design

Around the time of Valentine's Day, I wondered what I would give to my loved ones. I came up with the idea of a small coffee box filled with instant coffee packages because who doesn't like coffee?

I created this package design for my coffee idea, named "Spring Coffee." The design is inspired by the concept of love. I can imagine myself that the coffee box would be bought as a gift for someone you love, either on Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, or just as a small joy.
