A Desert Escape, Designed for Every Generation.
(Speculative project in collaboration with an interior design + hospitality studio)
Goal
To create a speculative brand identity for The Oasis, a conceptual Coachella Valley resort. The project aimed to explore how design can balance modern sophistication and family-friendly playfulness, imagining how a hospitality brand could visually capture the leisure and energy of the desert setting.
Audience
Affluent San Francisco–based families imagined as the target guests—individuals who balance luxury, outdoor recreation, and music festival culture, while seeking both refined and family-oriented experiences.
Contribution
Designed a speculative identity system: logo, illustration style, color palette, typography, and imagery direction.
Contribution
Developed sample applications including animated holiday invitations, menus, and branded collateral to show how the identity could extend across touchpoints.
Contribution
Created a visual framework where minimal illustration appealed to children while textured patterns and lifestyle imagery spoke to adults.
Step Into The Oasis
The Oasis is a speculative hospitality concept set in Coachella Valley, designed to imagine how modern branding can merge sophistication with playfulness. This project was developed as a design exploration, in partnership with an interior design and hospitality studio, to envision a resort brand identity that speaks equally to adults seeking luxury and children drawn to fun and color.
