The visual identity I designed for Creative Hotline, a social series produced by @ObioSquare 🎬

So much of what shapes identity; oral traditions, symbols, languages; lives mostly in memory, rarely given the depth or craft it deserves on screen. We’re building the infrastructure to change that: documentary work, scripted storytelling, and visual archives made with real ambition.
This isn’t nostalgia. It’s a bet that stories rooted in place and heritage belong on the same stage as any global production.
We’re just getting started. Follow along @ObioSquare as we build.
