I had the opportunity to design a personal brand tailored to a specific audience. Inspired by my love for adaptogens and a desire to create peaceful moments in the midst of a stressful college environment, I envisioned a vending machine brand offering quick mood shifts.
This project became an exploration of a new illustration style — blending tranquility with bold, abstract shapes and colors that represent different moods. My goal was to craft an “interlude” — a brief, restorative pause for students navigating daily challenges. By combining soft pastels with strong typography, I aimed to evoke a sense of calm while still reflecting the energy and power of personal alignment and sustained well-being.
