The Work

The thinking behind the work.

Every project here started as a business problem worth solving. What you're looking at isn't a portfolio — it's a track record. Brand strategy, creative direction, and experiential work across industries, scales, and degrees of chaos.

The design was never the point. The outcome was.

Candescent

Creative direction and brand strategy for a fintech company building its identity from the ground up. From event branding to global team leadership, the work spanned the full range of what a growing company needs when it's defining who it is.

Employer Branding | Recruitment Campaign | Web Design

IEA | More to Come

After a year-long culture overhaul, IEA needed their hiring market to feel it too, so I mapped the candidate journey and built a campaign around one idea — the best is still ahead — carrying that same energy into recruitment.

Monument

A managed services firm with decades of expertise and a brand that hadn't evolved in just as long. What started as a request for a logo update became a full rebrand — one that had to stand independent while staying in the family of its parent company.

Creative Direction | Brand Strategy | Brand Identity | Internal Communications | Web Design | Campaign Development | Creative Team Infrastructure

Insight Global | Be the Light

An internal mantra that had already taken hold organically became the anchor for a full brand transformation, so I rebuilt the identity, digital guides, website, intranet, and campaign system around it, driving a 30% increase in consultant growth.

Brand Identity | Presentation Design | Collateral Design

Compass

A leadership-development spin-off within Insight Global needed presentations and collateral to match the ambition of the idea, so I built the visual foundation that let it launch full-steam-ahead into consulting with top-tier companies on corporate leadership.
