TRIKON.

A landing page for an early-stage Web3 product line. The remit: make a brand that could carry a v1 product launch without locking the studio into a system it would outgrow in a quarter.

A V1 BRANDTHAT DOESN'TBLOCK V2.

Most early-stage brand work fails by being too rigid — every component locked, every token canonised, no room to evolve when the product premise shifts in month four. Trikon's brief inverted that: get to a credible launch surface fast, but leave handles for the next designer to grab. Designing for replaceability is a discipline, not a shortcut.

I started by deciding what NOT to do. No design system. No specimen page. No icon library. Just a triangular wordmark, two type families, four sizes, and a hero composition that did all the heavy lifting. Everything else was scoped explicitly as 'launch v1' in the file annotations.

// CONSTRAINT.01A
ONE FIXED ASSET

The triangular wordmark is the only piece flagged as canonical. Everything else (palette, type pairings, hero treatment) is documented as launch-only so the next iteration starts from a known reset, not a sunk cost.

// CONSTRAINT.02B
TYPE PAIRING, NOT TYPE SCALE

Two families, four sizes, no tokens. Resisted the temptation to spin up a full system that the product wouldn't earn back. A stripped-down kit that gets a landing live without pretending to be a permanent foundation.

// CONSTRAINT.03C
CTA-FIRST LAYOUT

Above-the-fold is one promise + one button. The rest of the page is supporting evidence. The whole landing reads as a single conversion artefact — easier to A/B, easier to throw away later.

Saksham gave us a launch surface that did its job and got out of the way. When we pivoted in month three the rebrand was a half-day job, not a half-quarter.

DONALABS.

DonaLabs needed a brand that looked rooted, not loud — DeFi told as old-money botanical. I shaped the wordmark, the photography rules, the type stack and the product surfaces, then handed engineering a tokenised library so the whole thing could ship without me.
