The Nomad Soap Co. pt.01

I'm delighted to introduce The Nomad Soap Co., a brand that my good friend Conrad Haynes started in 2018 along with his team in Los Angeles, CA.

The brand caters handcrafted soaps inspired from a family recipe in Louisiana and solid colognes for men with different skin types as it also explores different masculine flavors which I had the opportunity to work on the visuals to translate each flavor in character design. The color studies and character research was a lot of fun as it was when creating and rendering each of them.

Individual portraits to follow on my next posts.

Ramen Shokudo : Illustrations

  

"The noodles are the body

and the broth is the soul."

Commissioned illustration series as part of the

re-branding identity for Ramen Shokudo.

Ramen Shokudo : Logo & Branding Design

Logo and brand redesign for a local Japanese noodle house, Ramen Shokudo.

 

The chef's method of using handmade ingredients to serve food in contrast from the ready-made ones that are available in the nearest store is the essence of embracing and surviving the harsh contemporary while being deeply grounded and organic by its tradition.

 

The brand's principle inspired the development of the visual to represent pride and richness of the Japanese Ramen as the face of the brand as it welcomes the diners with warm and charm to share its authenticity and quality.
