  • I led a company-wide brand and website redesign that aligned visual strategy with business goals and enhanced the user experience. As part of this work, I created scalable brand systems in Figma to unify design across web, marketing, and product.
  • To strengthen visual storytelling and ensure consistency, I expanded our illustration and icon libraries and produced impactful marketing assets such as sell sheets, social templates, and launch materials.
  • One standout achievement was launching a bold, festival-themed sub-brand for the 2024 trade show season. I guided the creative direction and execution across digital and print channels, delivering a cohesive and engaging experience.
  • Throughout the project, I collaborated with external agencies to ensure timely, high-quality delivery and worked cross-functionally to meet evolving design needs and strategic priorities.
