[OVERVIEW]

Nara is a surf photographer. He shoots the moment most surfers never get to see — themselves, mid-wave, from the water. He picked up a camera because he loved surfing, and never forgot the first time he saw himself ride. Before any design, we started with the why: the wave is gone in three seconds, but the feeling isn’t.

[RESULTS]

A custom monogram that reads as both ‘Na’ and a breaking wave. A full logo suite for light, dark and sand. An ocean-drawn palette. A type system pairing a clean grotesk with a monospace. A complete social brand book with post, story and highlight templates, and applications across caps, tees, tags and boards. One mark, one line, one feeling — carried across everything Nara makes.

[CLIENT TESTIMONIAL]

Working with Ymke was honestly amazing. I let her take the lead on the project, she really listened to what I wanted, then took it somewhere I couldn’t have gotten to on my own. The communication throughout was great — I always knew where things stood and never felt out of the loop. What she created is beautiful, and more than that, it actually feels like me. The brand captures who I am as a person, not just what I do. It went beyond anything I expected. For the first time I feel like I can put my work out there in a way I’m genuinely proud of.
