CONFUNKTION RECORDS

Confunktion Records is a funk label dedicated to keeping the tradition of physical records alive through carefully crafted small-run pressings. To support this vision, a cohesive design system was developed for both 7-inch and 12-inch vinyl releases, ensuring a distinctive and recognizable identity across all formats.

To enhance visibility in digital spaces, the logo was later animated, creating a dynamic presence on social media while adding depth to the label’s overall aesthetic. By bridging the gap between analog craftsmanship and contemporary design, Confunktion Records preserves the essence of funk in both sound and visuals.

MYKITA Leica

For the partnership between Mykita and Leica, I developed comprehensive design guidelines, ensuring a seamless and cohesive visual identity across all touchpoints. This included the creation of point-of-sale (POS) elements that reflect the precision and craftsmanship both brands are renowned for.

The packaging design was carefully crafted to embody the collaboration's values—blending Mykita’s modern aesthetic with Leica’s legacy of technical excellence. Each detail was considered, from material choices to finishes, resulting in a premium unboxing experience that underscores the synergy between the two iconic brands.

Through these efforts, the collaboration was brought to life with a unified design language that communicates sophistication, innovation, and timeless quality at every level.
