I finally got a full day to myself today, after 3 weeks of hard admin work in Tokyo city 🫠 Craving for creativity and beauty in this concrete electrified city… I battled crowded subways & weekend chaos 😅 to reach the mighty Ginza station! On arrival at every design nurtured my mind and brought me back to my true passion. This retro German graphic design expo was the mind-reset I desperately needed. So happy to share these glimpses with you 🤍🩵🖤

Wrapping up the BeGrand visual identity rollout for this amazing collective of EU based change-managers. From the sleek website to printed collaterals, we’ve kept it simple 🤓 with black & white base for focus, and used pops of color to highlight their dynamic approach. It’s been a joy bringing this vision to life, beyond just the logo and brand guidelines!

Next up will be some tips and insights on branding design. But before that, enjoy a sway weekend first! 🪇

I believe clarity fuels transformation 🍵

BeGrand is an international collective of freelance Change Management Consultants, based all over Europe.

For this project, I designed a brand identity that works the way BeGrand does: sharp, dynamic, and full of energy. Black and white for focus, bright post-it colours for action. Just like their workshop sessions, it’s all about thinking, sharing, and making change happen.

💡 Change is the spark of growth, right? But how do you know it’s time to evolve your brand identity? What signs tell you it’s time for a next step towards a cohesive brand image? Let’s talk! ⬇️✨

PS. The font used for the BeGrand logo is Agrandir Variable (Wide Bold), designed by Alex for the .pangram Foundry. / branding, strategy, change management, visual identity, bold design, digital work, innovation, collaboration

The .jewellery creations come to life! Through art direction and photography, we had the opportunity to capture the essence of Duchess Lace 🩰 elegance meeting attitude. Set in a timeless Art Deco home in Brussels, from styled muses to behind-the-scenes glimpses, this is branding in motion.

In this project, refinement revealed itself like a hidden gem waiting to shine.

Branding is so much more than a logo. It is the soul of a unique story, woven into every detail. For Duchess Lace, a Brussels-based jewellery brand, we embarked on a journey to craft a visual identity that embodies timeless grace and intricate artistry.

From the first sketches to the final emblem, every curve and contour reflects the essence of lace: delicate yet strong, classic yet contemporary.
Let me know what you think! 😚

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned as we unveil more of this refined transformation.✨
