Staff Brand Designer
Following acquisition, BILL’s brand sought a cohesive visual language across product and marketing.
As a staff brand designer, I led the development of a new visual system, defining illustration, motion, and core brand behaviors. This included building the initial libraries and working closely with designers to ensure consistent rollout across teams.
The result was a unified brand expression that could scale across channels during a critical period of growth.

OOH Campaign
A campaign entitled “More Made Possible” that translated Mercury’s product experience into a clear, differentiated visual language at scale.
I developed a set of illustrations and character animations that balanced energy with clarity, designed to work across large-format placements while maintaining consistency with the brand.
The system allowed the campaign to feel cohesive across executions while introducing a more expressive layer to the brand.

Brand Launch
Joanna Stern launched her tech news platform, New Things, after exiting a successful career with WSJ. Her channel has exploded, garnering the attention of veteran influencers like MKBHD and Casey Neistat.
I worked with design duo, Brainstorm, and motion designer, Zach Ferdman, to shape a motion system that was scalable for various social platforms.

Visual identity
The Leverage needed a visual identity that could scale with its growth across platforms and formats.
Working with its creator, Evan Armstrong, I helped define the foundational brand system: typography, illustration, and overall tone. We built this to work across Substack, social, and emerging formats for video and audio.

Seasonal brand design
Feed The Wife is a family-owned bakery in Taipei. They needed a seasonal brand system that could extend across packaging, merch, and physical experiences.
We developed a set of illustrations and graphics that captured their story and could be reused across formats, creating a consistent visual language tied to their product: delicious baked goods.

West Main Studio(previously Sunset Studio) is a photo/film studio in Salt Lake City, UT. They needed a small set of illustrations to support their rebrand.
I created a focused illustration set aligned with their visual identity, designed to integrate seamlessly into their site and brand materials.

Animated short
A dog visits NYC for a weekend. Full film seen here.
Created in conjunction with a small art show, later titled “Just Visiting” inspired by 6 months living on the Northeast side.
This short animation was created by hand and digitally, then projected inside a physical newspaper stand. It’s an unfinished work:)
Accompanying this was also a set of iconography and a large hand sewn piece.
