Identity studyLondono Builders / Project story
01 / Londono Builders
Make the quality of the work visible.
A luxury residential builder needed a coherent presentation of its architecture, craftsmanship and personal approach. Brand strategy and development connect the business story with architectural photography, videography, visualization and website design.
The digital presentation gives the homes room to speak, with a clear path from exploring the work to starting a conversation. A coherent identity, imagery and website bring the builder’s story together.
AstraQua / Project story
02 / AstraQua
Precision with a sense of possibility.
The AstraQua identity exploration balances technical clarity with movement and discovery. A detached apex, open center and winged lower form create a compact geometric A, paired with a mixed-case wordmark.
A restrained white, deep-navy and black palette carries the identity across technical imagery. Application studies explore equipment, publishing and team apparel.
Application imagery is conceptual. AI-generated application studies are illustrative, not photographs of manufactured products or evidence of deployment, endorsement or institutional affiliation.
La Mer / Project story
03 / La Mer
One identity, from menu to space.
At Bait Al Reem, an outdated franchise café became a bright, coastal restaurant identity. The ornate La Mer crest, blues and sunny yellows connect menus, patterns, signage and the dining environment.
The documented project brings together identity, menu design, interiors, environmental graphics, food styling and photography. Original project photography and design visualizations remain distinct.

Cartier / Project story
Cartier
From gesture to fragrance image.
A visual sequence connects form, lettering and color with a fragrance image. The studies develop from sketch and gesture into a composed product image and a proposed outdoor banner.
The work explores animation and composition alongside an outdoor advertising proposal.
Presented as a design concept, not an adopted campaign.
VIM / Virtual Islamic Museum / Project story
VIM / Virtual Islamic Museum
Cultural heritage.
Contemporary access.
VIM, Virtual Islamic Museum, connects cultural heritage with contemporary access through identity artwork and immersive museum concepts.
High-contrast serif initials, open letterforms and generous white space give the identity an architectural presence. The design studies connect a clear museum signature with ideas for visitor access, publications and immersive galleries.
The museum applications are design concepts, not installed exhibitions.
Antares / Project story
Antares
A central point.
A field of connections.
The Antares identity connects a central point with movement, stars and space. Its inspiration comes from seven circuits around the Kaaba in Mecca, with the Kaaba as the center.
The original identity signature is presented in a visualization with a gold-embossed effect.

A clear direction,
before the design begins.
Can we commission a focused part of the work?
Yes. The scope can focus on positioning, a visual identity, a website, launch communications or selected brand touchpoints. We agree the deliverables around your current priorities.
Do you work with existing brands as well as startups?
Both. We can develop a new identity or help an existing business bring greater clarity and consistency to its communication and experience.
What should we share to begin?
Tell us about your business, audience, current stage, timeline and the support you need. Existing materials and a brief are helpful, but an early idea is enough to start a conversation. Deliverables, timing and fees are agreed for each project.
