For this project, I designed a professional lighting catalog for Clever2Smart, a company specializing in smart home solutions. The goal was to present a curated selection of modern lighting systems that can be seamlessly integrated into a smart home environment. The catalog showcases a variety of lighting options, combining high-quality visuals with clear technical specifications. Each product is presented in a structured and visually appealing way, making it easy for customers to understand both the design and functionality of the lighting solutions. A strong focus was placed on maintaining the company’s brand identity throughout the entire catalog. From layout and typography to subtle design details, the final result reflects the innovative and modern character of Clever2Smart. This project highlights my ability to combine clean design, technical information, and brand consistency into a cohesive and engaging presentation.

This fully 3D-generated product rendering was crafted to evoke a sense of warmth, premium quality, and organic beauty. The hair oil bottle serves as the focal point, resting elegantly on a heavy, sophisticated stone slab that grounds the composition. Surrounding the product is a delicate arrangement of white and soft pink roses, creating a striking textural contrast between the hard stone and the soft florals. To elevate the inviting atmosphere, a warm, cozy light casts across the scene from the left, introducing realistic window shadows that give the image a cinematic, highly appealing depth.

For this project, I created a custom DJ background visual for the artist “Jacks”, designed to enhance the atmosphere during live performances. The concept features a dark, futuristic tunnel illuminated by contrasting red and blue lights along the sides, creating a dynamic and immersive environment. At the center, the DJs name appears in bright white typography, enhanced with subtle glitch effects to add a modern, digital aesthetic. The combination of lighting, depth, and motion creates a visually striking scene that captures attention and reinforces the artists identity on stage. This project focuses on blending strong visual design with a high-energy electronic music vibe, making it ideal for live events, club visuals, or digital performances.

A sharp, minimalist, and highly modern logo design for a sports club. The visual identity utilizes a bold, high-contrast color palette of black, white, and deep red. Moving away from overly complex traditional sports emblems, the design is distinctively edgy, placing a large "GSC" within an angular, pointed crest shape. The typography is precisely structured: the upper section displays "ASKÖ" in red next to "GSC LINZ" in black, while a solid red block anchors the bottom, featuring "LINZ 1971" in stark white. The result is a clean, aggressive, and highly recognizable athletic identity.

An ultra-minimalist and clever brand mark designed for a facility protection company. The logo seamlessly merges the initial "H" with the visual language of the industry: impact protection and safety bollards. Using the highly visible, industrial color scheme of yellow and black, the vertical pillars of the "H" are styled to look like rising, staggered security bollards. The letterform is brilliantly defined through its bold outlines and strategic use of space, resulting in a robust, functional, and highly memorable corporate logo.

For this project, I created an explainer video for Clever2Smart, a company specializing in smart home solutions for modern buildings. The goal of the video was to clearly communicate the benefits and functionality of their automated shading system. The animation illustrates how intelligent shading control adapts dynamically to environmental factors such as temperature, daylight levels, and weather conditions like strong winds. By automatically adjusting blinds and shades, the system helps improve energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and building protection. A key focus of the video is the user-friendly control via smartphone, allowing users to monitor and manage their environment effortlessly from anywhere. The project combines clear visual storytelling with modern design to make complex technology easy to understand and engaging for a broad audience.
