Funkie House (2022 — 2024)
Stay Warm Scarf
A typographic scarf design where the words “Stay Warm” are formed through simple shapes. By experimenting with different shapes and letters, these abstract letter shapes were created. The phrase comes from Funkie House’s 2023 winter slogan "Stay Warm Stay Funkie, and the design turns that idea into a playful graphic pattern across the scarf.
Funkie Radio
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
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
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.
