Club Native

ClubNative is a specialised DJ hub and booking platform designed to bridge the gap between underground artists and credible bookers. More than just a marketplace, it serves as a cultural destination where the electronic music community can share their work, access industry education, and build their brands through direct peer-to-peer connection. The identity is anchored by the mission to document and empower the scene, ensuring that the transition from digital discovery to the physical booth is seamless and technically verified.

Before Rebranding

Project Overview

Problem

The platform originally operated under a different name and visual identity that failed to resonate with its core community. This initial branding was unmemorable and lacked the professional edge required to convey the brand’s deeper values to its target audience. It struggled to articulate the brand's position at the intersection of professional reliability and underground authenticity, often appearing more like a broad, formal marketplace that prioritised volume over vibe. Consequently, it failed to build the necessary bridge of trust with DJs and bookers who value cultural relevance and technical expertise.

Solution

The visual identity is rooted in the physical reality of music: Cymatics. This concept is based on the principle that sound is the foundation and structure of the entire brand. These cymatic patterns are further utilised as framing elements and background textures to add depth across digital and physical applications. By using a systematic approach where sound waves create physical structure, the identity serves as a professional bridge between the artist and the audience.

Result

Through this strategic overhaul, ClubNative has successfully repositioned itself from a generic utility to an authoritative cultural destination built by the scene, for the scene. By adopting an identity that speaks the technical and visual language of electronic music, the brand now effectively competes with industry giants by offering what they cannot: authentic underground credibility.

Canto 33 is the final chapter of The Divine Comedy, marking the culmination of Dante’s journey as he encounters God. Having ascended through the outer rings of heaven, Dante finds himself in what he describes as the far reaches of outer space. His experience is one of shock and awe, as he struggles to comprehend the divine presence. This canto represents the ultimate preparation for Dante’s direct encounter with God, the culmination of his spiritual and physical journey.

Cymaitc Studio

A custom web tool built to give the ClubNative team full creative control over one of the brand's most distinctive visual assets - its cymatic patterns. The patterns are generated in real time by adjusting parameters like harmonic mode, warp, density, and threshold. Designers can explore an infinite range of outputs, apply the brand colour palette, and export production-ready SVG files for use across digital and print touchpoints — without needing to open any design software. Built as a lightweight, hosted web app accessible to the whole team.

Website

During Dante’s time, religious texts were predominantly published in Latin, accessible only to the educated elite. The Divine Comedy broke this tradition by being written in Italian, making it accessible to everyone. In a modern context, I chose to create a website as the medium for this project, as it represents the most accessible platform for information today. This decision aligns with Dante’s intention of democratising knowledge.
