Cosmic Cavern Studio is a Western Canadian Music Award winning outlet, by multidisciplinary designer and musician Shalom Toy (Silvering) that focuses on helping musicians, music based entities and others increase their impact through creative that embraces it's origins and prioritizes intentionality.
My approach is centered in care, curiosity, and clarity. I blend research with design sensibilities, balancing strategy with intuition. Throughout every project, I keep a focus on what makes you unique, reflecting that through visual solutions like brand identity, packaging, event campaigns, merchandise, and creative work across motion, print, and digital spaces.
I see strategy as an act of care, driven by curiosity, intention, pattern recognition, and emotional fluency. In the early stages of a project, I place emphasis on listening, observing, and asking the right questions to understand you at a core level, to better express what truly matters. I want the work to reflect who you are in a way that resonates and leaves an impression.
With ten years of experience in design and a continually evolving creative journey, I bring a keen eye for detail and a multidisciplinary approach. But more than that, it's about observing deeply, asking thoughtful questions, and translating feeling into form. This is what truly creates lasting impact. The tools I use evolve to meet the unique needs of each project, but the underlying care remains constant.
