Hiya, I'm a designer based in the New York area passionate about crafting impactful brand identities and eye-catching design solutions. When not working, I give back by using my abilities to uplift underserved communities.

Design process

Innovative Designs, Same Unbeatable Process: Consistency is key to elevate every new project

01.

DISCOVERY

During this stage, I focus on gathering information about the company's mission statement, business goals, tone, values, target audience, and competitors. This then allows me to gain a deeper understanding of what makes the brand unique.

IdeatION

Using the information gathered during the discovery stage, I begin to develop conceptual ideas for the brand. This stage ends once mood board/ options are presented and I get cross-functional alignment of the executive team or functional leads for departments impacted by the brand.

DESIGN

I take the selected design concept and begin to create the brand's visual story. Creating a design language that is reflected in the logo, color palette, typography, signage, and more. If resources and personnel are assigned to the project, I introduce the project plan and timeline to the team.

DELIVERY

Upon approval of the design, I will finalize the design, add the remaining bells and whistles, and create the brand guidelines. This will help the company's personnel create their own content that is on brand and maintain a consistent design language across all platforms and mediums.
