Endurance Racing Icon

Hand-Finished Body • Precision Chassis • Racing Red

A stunning HO scale tribute to the pinnacle of American endurance racing. Features a custom-molded body, authentic racing stripes, and gold-finished wheels for the ultimate shelf and track presence.

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 lines, e-commerce assets, and launch campaign materials. We kept the palette strictly monochrome with strategic uses of soft glow effects to suggest 'afterglow' moments in sound. Every touchpoint, from the unboxing experience to social templates, was designed to feel cohesive and

Trans-Am Muscle

V8 Power in 1:64

Muscle Car Series • Performance Gears • High Torque

Capturing the raw energy of the 1970s Trans-Am series. These models feature aggressive stances and high-torque motors designed for high-speed competition on any HO track.

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, embossed packaging details for retail, and modular UI components for their app interface. I also developed a comprehensive brand book and asset library so their internal team could maintain visual consistency as they scaled. The result feels intentional, timeless, and refreshingly un-tech-bro.

Grand Prix Gold

Vintage Formula Fleet

Open-Wheel Classics • Chrome Detail • Collector Series

The elegance of 1950s and 60s Grand Prix racing brought to life. Meticulous chrome accents and period-accurate liveries make these the centerpiece of any serious HOcommerce visuals.

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 elegant, letting the imagery breathe. We also created a full suite of e-commerce assets, including lifestyle photography, product detail shots, and social templates. The rebrand helped Opal feel less like a commodity and more like a

STORY

Craftsmanship at the Micro Scale

I am a dedicated builder obsessed with the mechanical beauty of classic motorsport. What started as a childhood hobby in a North American / US garage has evolved into a studio focused on the highest tier of HO scale craftsmanship.

Micromotoring bridges the gap between static scale models and high-performance racing machines. I don't just build cars; I engineer tiny legends that honor the golden era of automotive history with every lap they take.

PROCESS

Engineering the Perfect Miniature

Every car follows a disciplined engineering path to ensure historic accuracy and top-tier track performance.

STEP 1

Historic Research

We study original race photography and mechanical diagrams to ensure every curve and color code is period-accurate for the era.

STEP 2

Chassis Selection

We match the body to a high-performance HO chassis, selecting gears and magnets for optimal racing balance.

STEP 3

Master Painting

Using automotive-grade finishes, we apply the base color and multiple clear coats for a concours-level shine.

STEP 4

Final Livery

Decals are applied by hand, including sponsor logos and driver names, followed by a final protective sealant for track use.

STEP 5

Track Testing

Every car is tested on our professional HO circuit to verify motor speed, electrical pick-up, and handling before sale.
