Minimal monochrome visuals, bold typography, and soft gradients for a new audio brand. I designed the full identity,

Oasis Audio approached me at the pre-launch stage with a clear vision: to position themselves as the refined alternative in a crowded headphone market. The challenge was to create a brand system that felt premium without being pretentious, and minimal without being cold. I developed a complete visual language built around high contrast, precise typography, and gradient-based motion graphics. The identity system included logo suite, brand guidelines, packaging design for three product

A tactile, almost analog-feeling product identity for a digital-first brand. Clean product renders, precise

Dune Devices wanted to bring back the joy of focused listening in an age of distraction. Their portable music player needed a brand identity that honored analog tactility while embracing digital precision. I built a system around geometric simplicity, restrained color (black, white, one accent), and ultra-clear iconography. The identity translated seamlessly across contexts: sleek product renders for their site,

Opal came to me with a clear ask: their skincare line was gentle, effective, and ingredient-focused, but their visual identity felt generic and overlooked. I redesigned everything from the ground up, starting with a new logotype that felt softer and more considered. The photography direction emphasized natural light and minimal styling—no aggressive shadows or clinical backdrops. I designed a label system that worked across multiple product formats (bottles, tubes, jars) while keeping a unified look. Typography was kept quiet and

ABOUT

Raw stone meets quiet sensory living

At MAFO, we create tactile home objects that ground your daily rituals. We merge architectural concrete casting with traditional stone carving to produce diffuse sculptures that elevate contemporary spaces through quiet craftsmanship and pure botanical scents.

Every diffuser begins as raw travertine, basalt, or limestone, carefully selected for density and pore texture. Paired with custom concrete foundations and hand-blended fragrance extracts, our pieces offer a quiet alternative to electric diffusers.

RITUAL

How to experience cold stone fragrance

A simple, sensory process designed to transform your environment through tactile materials and enduring aroma.

STEP 1

Select diffuser

Choose a carved travertine, volcanic stone, or limestone diffuser sculpted to match the proportions of your space.

STEP 2

Pair fragrance oil

Select from our pure botanical fragrance concentrates, distilled from cedar, fig, wild resin, and dark amber.

STEP 3

Apply to stone

Dispense 4 to 8 drops directly onto the porous stone facets. The natural rock slowly absorbs and retains essence.

STEP 4

Diffuses aroma

As air moves across the mineral texture, subtle fragrant notes disperse organically without heat, water, or electricity.

STEP 5

Weekly refresh

Add fresh drops weekly to maintain scent intensity or transition between fragrances as seasons evolve.

How do stone diffusers work?

Travertine and basalt absorb fragrance oil and release scent gradually as air circulates across the stone's carved facets.

5 to 8 drops of concentrated oil provide continuous subtle aroma for 7 to 10 days before requiring replenishment.

Do you ship globally?

Yes, we offer white-glove shipping with custom protective packaging to ensure stone pieces arrive safely.
