Sneaker Poster — Virgil Abloh × Louis Vuitton

A sneaker poster created for a Vega class brief, centered on Virgil Abloh's Louis Vuitton sneaker. Illustrator handled the precise vector work and typography; Photoshop carried the detailed image editing and layering — merging luxury fashion aesthetics with streetwear energy.

The composition leans on strong visual hierarchy, dynamic type treatment, and clean branding integration to highlight the sneaker's iconic status.

Nedbank Youth X Launch Campaign — IIE Vega Brand Challenge, 2025

Working with student team Oceans 11, I helped build a full campaign concept to launch Nedbank's Youth X — its platform for supporting young South Africans through financial tools, opportunities, and lifestyle perks.

Everyone on the team had a specific role; mine was pulling the ideas together into a cohesive visual pitch aimed at getting young South Africans genuinely excited about the platform.

Built from curiosity. Refined by obsession.

I’m Tyrin — a digital designer who likes making things feel clear, intentional, and impossible to ignore. With a BA in Digital Design from IIE Vega, I work across visual identity, digital experiences, layouts, and front-end development to turn rough ideas into work with a distinct point of view.

My inspiration comes from places where design has to make an immediate impact: the precision of automotive design, the personal language of tattoo art, and the raw energy of street culture. These influences have taught me to respect the details — the spacing, the weight, the rhythm, and the one unexpected element that gives a design its character.

I’m looking to work with people who value strong ideas, thoughtful execution, and design that does more than look good. Whether it’s a brand, a campaign, or a digital product, I want to create work that feels considered, communicates clearly, and leaves a mark.
