Playful Retro Illustration-led

Design DNA

The whole page is a matchbox: orange and crimson panels with dotted striker edges, star sparkles and a condensed display serif. Selected works are matchsticks with red heads and tag pills; services are three framed matchbox-label cards with retro object illustrations (chair, TV, phone) and Hindi captions. An illustrated self-portrait anchors the about block, a 'Playtime' orbit of tilted poster tiles and an awards list follow, ending in a crimson 'It's a match!' contact card with a matchstick button.

Worth borrowing

Turn a list of projects into matchsticks whose heads are the bullets.
Design service cards as vintage matchbox labels with one object illustration each.
Carry one physical metaphor (striker dots, sparks) through every border and divider.
