BRAND IDENTITY

CHALLENGE

Capture a brand that feels rich and high-end, while also communicating an earthy, sustainable, handcraftedexperience.

SOLUTION

A bold, premium identity paired with deep earthy tones and balanced neutrals—creating a brand that feels elevated, grounded, and city-ready.

APPROACH

I approached Urban Grind with a focus on premium richness and authenticity. The color palette includes deep tones like burgundy and sage-inspired greens to reflect earthy freshness, with black and white to add balance and structure. For the logo, I kept typography sophisticated but added uniqueness through subtle contrast in stroke thickness and intentional letter details—especially the “A”—to make the mark feel custom without losing its luxury tone.
