Project Overview
A creative headwear series harmonising fashion and melody, the Soundwave Caps collection is a tribute to musical expression and the artistry of rhythm. Blending abstract visual notes with musical instruments, staves, and symbols, this design range turns everyday accessories into compositions of colour, movement, and cultural voice. Perfect for music lovers, creatives, and style seekers who wear their passions.

Graphic Design
This collection features a vibrant medley of musical notes, piano keys, clefs, and jazz-inspired accents layered across a white base. Watercolour splashes and ink-style brushwork evoke spontaneity and flow, while the mix of soft pastels and bold blacks offers a refined contrast. The result: a cap that feels like a wearable piece of music—alive, improvisational, and deeply expressive.
