Independent concept project created for portfolio exploration.

Solaris is an independent design concept exploring financial technology brand aesthetics. The project researches alternative visual directions that move away from generic fintech icons and stock vectors.

Fintech branding often relies on abstract blue grids and digital connection lines. The design exploration sought to combine amber lighting, crystalline shapes, and structured typography to create a memorable aesthetic.

As Independent Designer, I developed the brand strategy, visual monogram, 3D art direction, design system guidelines, and marketing presentation concepts.
