Women’s Creative Collective is an inclusive space for women with diverse voices to come together in order to share, reclaim, expand and challenge ideas and experiences that will enrich our uniqueness, our communities and cross borders.
The design draws from this core, finding the space in an intentional expression of opportunities to come and multiplicity of voices in a constant state of becoming through geometric shapes that build new combinations and a logo equipped for expansiveness.

Retrograde is cozy coffee stop nestled into Nashville’s east side that’s dedicated to providing the neighborhood with a welcoming spot to slow down and press pause for a moment on the daily path.
Taking cues from the name, the visual identity is inspired by the cosmic phenomenon of retrograde motion. Specifically, the moment when Mercury appears to hover and begin to move backwards. The reverse italic logotype features three custom Sputnik “Rs”, with geometric counters referencing Mercury, Earth and the Sun. The brand symbol pulls them together in a simple interstellar monogram, and the calming color palette is complemented with a touch of bright gold fit for a NASA satellite.

Elly’s is a high-end restaurant located in Mexico City. For their brand’s identity, we wanted to create a contrast between reinterpreted 1930’s typographies and handwritten details in a playful way. The result is child-like, quirky, and edgy all at once.
In order to balance out the playfulness with elegance in the brand, we used a serif typeface with contemporary details for the editorial, counterbalanced with a play of longhand elements, reminiscent of the playfulness of the graphic.
We also created illustrations based on Elly’s childhood by abstracting those memories into fun and dynamic images. Elly’s, a taste of nostalgia.
