I have a great time working on the drawing and I have learnt some interesting facts about this plant. Did you know that every part of Dandelion plant is edible and its flowers make great wine? :)")

I really enjoyed working on the dancing elephant :) There were several, quick sketches of elephants done and many feedbacks received, before the right version has been achieved well.
The visual style of this brand is transitional that combines modern and traditional, textured elements. Excited to be wrapping up the labels!")

The image that the client wanted to use for the logo was a scarab Beatle. There are several concepts of scarab involved in this branding, from a heavly detailed, intricate illustration to a single, modern icon (water mark) of scarab made up of GG letters.
The goal of this design, was to create something that not only stand out in the fashion but would but stand alone, make its own statement and tell a wonderful story.")

Yamba Caparica is a holistic boutique beach restaurant & bar/club located in Caparica, 20minutes away from Lisbon, Portugal. The place will have an African influenced decoration and vibe, without falling into obvious clichés. Yamba follows the aesthetics and philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, which embraces beauty as imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. I truly enjoyed a lot the whole creating process and I hope that the result speaks for itself :)")
