Funkie House
Funkie Radio (2022)
Branding and merchandise for Funkie Radio, a monthly event hosted at Funkie House, a clothing store that supports aspiring DJs by providing them with a platform to showcase their skills and gain exposure. The DJ sets are live-streamed and uploaded to Soundcloud for a wider audience.
For the branding, I drew inspiration from a retro aesthetic. The name "Funkie Radio" evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of classic radio stations. Therefore, I crafted a logo featuring a vintage two-tone radio design, a style popular in the 70s and 80s but making a resurgence in contemporary designs. To maintain the playful essence of Funkie House, I paired this with a quirky font. This design is primarily used in social media posts and on their website.
In addition to branding, I created merchandise that complements the logo. The backprint of the T-shirt extends the radio concept, bringing the logo to life as a cheerful radio character. This resonates with the overall vibe of the Funkie Radio event. I also designed stickers and tote bags to offer a complete package. This merchandise is available for sale at Funkie House.
Funkie x IFFR (2024)
T-shirt design for the Funkie House x International Film Festival Rotterdam collaboration. With this project, I turned the iconic tiger into a playful design. Since IFFR and Funkie House are both originated in Rotterdam and have been around for a long period of time, it's a match made in heaven —meant to inspire the next generation to embrace culture, cinema and art.

Funkie 35 Soccer Tee (2024)
For Funkie House’s 35th anniversary, I created the Funkie Soccer T-shirt: the complete design, including graphic logo, typography, and the design of the tee itself, which was custom made.
The design reflects the energy, creativity, and community spirit of Rotterdam. It’s a tribute to the Funkie House community and Rotterdam's vibrant culture. Inspired by my own interest in fashion, it also taps into current trends with the soccer-inspired tee. For the campaign, store manager Jan-Willem was featured, giving the release a personal and authentic touch.
