This premium soft serve and refreshments spot draws inspiration from the Mediterranean, not just in its ingredients but in its values. It’s about more than just grabbing a quick bite—it’s about savouring each moment, allowing life to slow down just enough to remind you of the beauty in the process.
The brand’s visual identity relects their ethos: clean and minimal with just the right amount of rustic charm. The color palette draws from the soft, sun-kissed tones of Mallorca’s beaches and countryside.
Whether it’s the refreshing soft serve or the carefully curated décor, the shop’s environment is designed to be organised yet warm, efficient yet sentimental. Every light, every scent, every sound is there to evoke a subtle, aesthetic fulfilment.")

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 :)")

"Yokaona is a truly gifted artist whose talents AI will never match. She possesses remarkable creative vision and applies it with technical mastery. She demonstrated incredible skill and precision in developing a unified brand voice, where every brand element speaks to each other. She is way more than a graphic designer—she is a secret weapon! I own a luxury brand and needed extremely polished, highly conceptual and nuanced design. That is exactly what she delivered. The final brand kit is beyond beautiful and empowering as I launch my company into our next phase of growth. If you are thinking about hiring her, don't hesitate. Do it. "

"This is our second time working with Yokaona, and her work continues to be exceptional. She demonstrated remarkable patience as we struggled to allocate time for meaningful feedback and to explore our options, with our indecision causing delays. Yokaona’s ability to remain flexible, accommodating, and committed to delivering a high-quality outcome, despite our frequent changes, was invaluable in ensuring we achieved exactly what we envisioned. We are deeply grateful for her dedication, creativity, and professionalism, which left us completely satisfied with the project.
