Village Den is a fast-casual version of a deli serving familiar favorites for all dietary options. Antoni Porowski's menu has a mix of beloved dishes that were transformed into healthy offerings to cater to multiple diets, from paleo to vegan. The branding had to combine both past and present in a no-nonsense way. Lead designer on Branding and collateral design at Paperwhite Studio.
One/Of is a women’s ready to wear brand based in New York focusing on limited volume collections using vestiges of heritage brands. The branding comes from numbered items in fine arts, using bold numerals to highlight the rarity of each garment. The hand-painted watercolor changes throughout the touch-points and seasons, emphasizing the craftsmanship of the collections.
The limited-edition quantities were then stamped into the hang-tags of each garment. Selvage is the edge on woven fabric that prevents it from unraveling and which is cut away during garment production. This production waste was repurposed for the packaging as shopping bag handles, hangtag ties and backdrop for dust bags.
Blanka Açaí is a Brazilian açaí bar, born in the depths of the Amazon and rendered in 8-bit graphics.
It takes its name from an Amazon born Street Fighter character that electrocutes its opponents - and then maybe stops for a bowl in between rounds?
The branding was inspired by retro arcade machines that were maybe covered in graffiti and doodles, as well as 8-bit game screens like login and menu screens.
The branding was developed into packaging that was easy to scale, in-store signage and merch.

Rowe & Bond is a childrenswear brand inspired by English countrysides and magical gardens. The branding had to be a bit magical and whimsical, while still nodding at the product’s high-end fabrics and quality in production.
Inspired by an afternoon playing in the garden, the logo is rendered in a traditional serif with a playful loop that trickles down to the monogram and both their frames. The serif's rigidity is balanced by a set of hand-drawn illustrations that I made.
The branding was developed into a packaging set of hang-tags, woven labels, stickers, ribbons, and tissue paper. The gift-boxes imitate a hard-cover fairytale book with a casing.
An ongoing challenge to design 36 characters that share a common theme. In progress

With a Bow is a modern luxury e-commerce with a focus on gift giving. The branding had to be modern and sophisticated but also warm and celebratory.

Trixel is a collection based on the ambiguity between flatness and depth. What if pixels could become 3D? With that concept in mind, I developed over 380 prints: 23 of them were then chosen to be digitally printed onto silk crepe de chine and cotton twill, as well as other fabrics. As a graphic designer, I developed the prints; and as a fashion designer, I made each piece.

The collaterals included exterior signage, stationary and a website.
