PoshFit was designed in 2022 & was submitted as my final project with . It was great to exercise my design skills at the moment, but now I’d love to revisit this project to track how far I’ve come with my new & improved skills. 🎨

Designers, have you considered revisiting some of your older creations & potentially revamping them to track your progress?

first and foremost, my girl killed it per usual. are we truly surprised? 🤭

following the “garden of time” theme with TWO looks this year and both caught my attention on the carpet.

with designers John Galliano and Law Roach, both fashion designers did an amazing job with executing both elements and principles of art & design through both looks. it’s giving duality, it’s giving range, it’s giving everything.

which look is your favorite out of the two?

experiencing a live brand identity in New York! ✨

I spent the past weekend hanging around New York to not only visit some friends, but to also collect some design inspiration. I had the opportunity of visiting , which is one of the brand identities showcased in the Mascots of Contemporary Graphic Design book that I currently have.

my first impression walking into the shop was full of excitement, since the brand identity itself is very playful and bright. I loved seeing the few logo variations being utilized, and seeing how each of the cookie mascots reflected the same playful expressions. they’ve also taken marketing collateral into consideration through lots of merchandise design, which potentially leads to more sales for this business aside from cookies.

ultimately, all of the design deliverables followed cohesive guidelines which led me to believe that the cookies themselves were trustworthy. from a brand designer’s point of view, I’d say Chip City’s brand identity is surely a success. the desserts were definitely delicious & I’ll be sure to give them another visit next time I’m in New York! 🍪

💘 Cupid’s Pizza • 1

a design concept created for valentine’s day, allowing love to flourish through the stomach & into the heart. this concept is utilized for people to ask their crush or significant other to be their valentine through a handmade, heart-shaped pizza. as the pizza is eaten, the box then reveals a question to ensure that the receiver wants to explore new heights of romance. the closest way into someone’s heart is through the stomach! ❤️‍🔥

here I wanted to try a two-toned design concept & I’m loving the simplicity in design & how it turned out! I think I’ll definitely continue the two-toned design trend for future design concepts I create.

would you be willing to experience Cupid’s Pizza with your crush or significant other? 🌹

hey ! 🎡

as a designer, it definitely caught my attention on how your target audience is feeling about your current brand identity, especially in categories of logo design & typography. this direct reflection of how your audience experiences your world, is also a direct reflection of how your sales will act accordingly. & it seems to have hit a point of exhaustion.

for all my business owners in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, pop culture, & content creation, this is also something you should be considering for yourself. when things suddenly hit the fan and your creative marketing strategies have ran its course, that is the ultimate sign for a rebrand. 🎨

with that being said, I’d absolutely love to bring back the fun, jubilance, & life back through strategic design solutions. booking are open through my bio! 🍒

✍🏾 practicing some custom typography skills through editorial design!

I honestly had SO much fun designing this & would love to make more editorial covers with celebrities or products. & of course I’ll be posting some behind the scenes work. maybe I’ll start this as a series for the future? let me know what you think!

especially when they have no idea how they want you to make it pop 😭

one solution to this problem with clients is to ask what emotion best relates to this “pop” that they’re looking for. this method then helps them dive deeper into the emotions that they’re seeking within the project so it can “pop” to them. it’s always a scare to hear those three words, but we can never expect clients to understand design language!
