Before I wrote code professionally, I studied communication design and worked as a graphic designer. I still design the brands, logos and illustrations for the products I build.
Logos and identities for products I’ve designed and built.
The whole brand has a neobrutalist feel with diner-inspired touches: thick outlines and bold type. I wanted it to feel playful, to live up to the “Cosy” half of the name.
In earlier versions I played around with a more realistic outline and a noodle bowl. The final logo is meant to look like a molcajete fashioned from neon tube lights.
Some of my earlier versions used blackletter and dark colours to give the vintage feel of old leather-bound books. Each version of the cat is shaped like the forked end of a hardcover’s ribbon bookmark, and its face (and in one case its tail) is built from punctuation marks.
The final logo shows three books in a stack, a literal “biblio-pile”. It’s also more modern, with brighter colours and cleaner lines.
App icon for a time zone tool, shaped like an airplane window. A sun and crescent moon split down the middle show day on one side of the world and night on the other.
Logo for a quiz generator for instructional designers and anyone making learning content: a pastel de nata with a question mark baked into the custard.
Vector illustrations for product UI and marketing, plus the painting on my homepage.
I drew the line art first, then painted it in Krita in a watercolour style.

Spot illustration used in the app.
Illustration for a transcription app, with the ninja mascot on a rooftop against the moon.
Sign-in illustration: a ninja peeks over a desk while a black cat naps in front of the login screen.
Interactive prototypes I designed and built.
A digital assistant prototype with a glassmorphism style and a focus on accessibility. The avatar has idle, listening, thinking and speaking states, plus keyboard shortcuts and a reduce-motion setting. The chat replies are mocked.
