Mellow
Mellow is your portable yogi, accompanying you wherever life takes you. It serves as a unified platform, bringing together trainers, studios, and practitioners from around the globe. The subscription models offer accessible entry points, allowing you to stay connected with your local studio while traveling or working remotely through video lessons. I led the creation of Mellow's branding, digital, and product designs. This encompassed everything from complex UI/UX wireframes to overseeing the development process closely. Adapting the design for both native app and desktop versions required meticulous adjustments to ensure seamless functionality across all platforms. The attached imagery offers a glimpse into a few of the many steps undertaken throughout the process.
Bar Apere
Bar Apere is an aperitivo bar located in The Netherlands, dedicated to offering high-quality aperitifs, natural wines, beers and bites in an atmosphere that captures the vibrancy and diversity of the Mediterranean. I oversaw the entire conceptualisation process for this project, encompassing strategy, brand positioning, illustration, and digital design.
Horizon Pension Tool
Horizon is a new and innovative plug and play pension solution designed for creative entrepreneurs in the cultural and creative industries. Ensuring financial security for all. I led the product design for the landing page and both the iOS and Android interfaces, focusing on intuitive user flows and clear flowcharts. From branding to digital design, I managed the entire process, ensuring a seamless experience for users from start to finish.
