A fresh identity for Caffeinated Creations by Kristy ☕✨

This project focused on creating a playful, memorable brand system that reflects the warmth, creativity, and personality behind Kristy's handmade creations. From the primary logo to the mascot, patterns, and brand applications, every element was designed to help her business stand out while staying true to her vision.

A huge thank you to my very first supporter client, Kristy, for trusting the process and believing in my work from the beginning. 💛

Frozen Ice Co. — Crafted Ice.

A concept identity inspired by Nordic symbolism, carved ice forms, and the sharp geometry found in frozen surfaces. The custom wordmark hides a diamond-shaped ice block within the lettering to reinforce the brand’s cold, crafted identity system.

Branding is the system around the logo.

DM the squid if your brand is ready for something intentional.

Hi I’m Nick the founder of Squid Works Studio, I am an emerging designer working across User Experience Design, User Research, and Visual Identity.

I’m at the beginning of building SquidWorks Studio as my independent creative practice. It’s been a mix of learning, experimentation, doubt, and slowly figuring out how to shape ideas into work that feels meaningful.

My foundation is in UX with the soul purpose of understanding people, behavior, and systems. Over time, I’ve moved into branding and visual identity, where I see graphic design as another way of shaping experience.

Right now, I’m building in public. Sharing work as I grow, learning as I go, and trying to turn this into something sustainable.

If you’d like to support this journey, engaging with posts or sharing them really helps more than you know.

Squid Works Studio is built around flexible identity systems designed to move, adapt, and actually work in the real world.

From logos to full brand systems, every package is built with intention — and a healthy amount of overthinking.

A logo can identify a brand.
A system makes people remember it.

Most brands stop at the logo — but branding is everything around it. The typography, color, presentation, packaging, motion, consistency, and feeling people associate with it over time.

That’s where recognition starts.
