VAN DENDER — Divine Tradition, Rebranded
Rebranding, Brand Identity, Digital Strategy
Van Dender is a heritage chocolatier reimagined for a new generation. We replaced the outdated logo with a custom wordmark, refined the color palette to deep cocoa and muted burgundy, and redrew the coat of arms for digital and print. The identity blends tradition with modern clarity: minimal, elegant, and built for both shelf and screen.

MINO. — A culinary time capsule where Armenian and French heritage collide
Brand Identity, Product Design
Mino is a culinary bridge between Armenia’s smoky hearths and French’ refined tables. They are a brand new high-end dining experience. As such, we designed their brand identity from scratch. The logo combines a script font with clean typography, reflecting the balance of rustic and refined. The visuals draw from Armenian stone carvings and warm, smoky green textures.

VERBEEK — A visual identity for modern craftsmanship
Brand Identity, Logo Design
For Verbeek Interieur, a carpenter based near Leuven, I developed a visual identity that reflects their dedication to craftsmanship, precision, and modern aesthetics. The result is a timeless design that balances strength and elegance. The visual identity was expanded through a full set of logo variations, a color palette rooted in white and a rich blue, and a detailed brand guide to ensure consistency across print and digital media.

BRUXELLES MA BELLE — Visual identity for a community-driven podcast
Branding, Digital Design, Typography
