The Challenge

Sedimentality Studio, a small-batch jewelry business, needed a distinct Maker’s Mark—a signature stamp used to authenticate and brand their metalwork. The goal was to create a mark that felt organic yet precise, capable of being legible even when scaled down to a few millimeters and stamped into precious metals.

The Creative Approach

This project began as a collaborative surprise initiated by a mutual friend. To provide the studio with a comprehensive range of options, I developed a suite of 15 distinct mockups.

My process focused on:

• Scalability: Ensuring the linework remained clear at miniature sizes.

• Materiality: Visualizing how the mark would look when physically indented into silver, gold, and textured clay.

• Brand Alignment: Balancing the "sedimentary" and earthy aesthetic of the studio with a professional, artisan feel.

The Result

I delivered a curated lookbook of 15 concepts, ranging from minimalist monograms to organic, nature-inspired icons. This allowed the client to explore different "personalities" for their brand before committing to a final physical stamp.
