Logo & Branding Design for Fashion & Beauty.
I am a logo and branding-minded designer with emphasis on building a strong niche-market identity for each client. I try to capture the big idea that will speak to the eye with beauty, strength and a little edge. My background is in fashion, beauty and lifestyle, and I enjoy the challenge of defining new projects in a way that transcends what has already been seen.
