The Digital Currency For Everyone

    Art direction, Illustration, Mural

Circle is a financial services company that uses blockchain technology for its cryptocurrency-related products. The opening of the Singapore office marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for Circle in the region.

For this milestone, they commissioned an original mural artwork to showcase their vision and people across Asia Pacific. The client also wanted to highlight the global movement of money through current and speculative future use cases. We incorporated a specific colour palette and gradients to align with the brand’s visual style.

The event welcomed key figures from the banking, finance, and crypto industry. Guests received exclusive merchandise featuring the artwork.

Twins
For the hero element, we proposed the idea of identical twins as a visual metaphor to illustrate the frictionless 1:1 exchange of value between USDC (USD Coin, a digital stablecoin) and USD, without the need for a third party. Dressed in Asian motifs, the twins move in perfect unison to convey a sense of unity, trust and stability.
