  • Claudia Lima
    Claudia LimaAfter 20 years working as a psychologist, Claudia Lima launched a personal organisation business focused on helping hoarders and those with chronic disorganisation. She needed a simple but flexible visual identity system. Lavender was the selected as the brand colour for its therapeutic and calming properties. The logo adapts to any format, and other elements are organised in a clear grid, for a sense of structure and restfulness. Designed in 2018 in Rio de Janeiro.
  • Nugo Rebrand
    Nugo RebrandNugo is a cashless card service for large-scale events in Brazil. The company needed a rebrand with an assertive but friendly tone of voice. For the redesign of the logo, the type was simplified; the dot became a period for assertiveness; and it was placed in a rectangle for security. The colour palette was extended, gradients were added and a flexible design language was created to turn complex data about spending into simple infographics that event producers can access on a dashboard.
