For the Love of Meta is a collaboration with OpenSea — a fresh and vibrant open-edition NFT collection celebrating the intersection of art, culture, and the open metaverse. The project involved creating a richly detailed isometric city illustration packed with cultural references, original characters, and hidden details that reward exploration. Every building, figure, and street corner tells a story.

A full cast of original characters — three flower variants in blue, purple, and red, alongside Pepe the frog, a toy sailboat, and an isometric corner store. Each character was designed at two scales for use across print, digital, and on-chain applications.

The city was built in six stages — rough structural sketch, detailed line art, character placement, flat color blocking, shading and depth, then final full-color render. Every stage was intentional, building complexity layer by layer until the world felt alive.

Kudoz is a premium cannabis flower brand built for a market that demands quality and attitude in equal measure. The packaging needed to work hard — standing out in a crowded dispensary environment while communicating premium product. Two distinct design phases tell the full story of the brand's evolution.

The first identity built on a bold black and neon yellow palette — high contrast, street-energy, unapologetically loud. The box packaging used a hand-drawn cartoon fist mark, uppercase bold lettering, and a full dieline system designed for a 10-pack format. Every surface had a job to do — built to pop off the shelf.

The rebrand shifted the energy from bold-and-stark to bold-and-alive. A full neon illustration system on black — flowers, hands, peace signs, cherries, flames — wrapping the entire tin can label in 360-degree visual chaos that rewards a second look. The Kudoz wordmark gained a bubble-graffiti treatment that fits the premium-but-playful brand personality perfectly.
