Review Work

Logo

The original Dakai logo had a good foundation, but its outline lacked perfection. My first step was to refine it into a more polished and precise version. Later, after additional feedback from the team, they requested a redesign to create a simpler and more tech-focused look. I provided a revised logo that aligns with these goals.

Landing page

I worked closely with the team to redesign the landing page. Over the course of the project, we developed two upgraded versions, with the second one being the final iteration. The theme they wanted was inspired by the universe, so I created multiple concepts before finalizing the design. I also handled content integration and ensured smooth handoff to the development team.

Dashboard

The company needed a tool to manage their internal team operations. I collaborated with them to design the interface based on their provided wireframes, ensuring the visuals were clear, functional, and on-brand.
