Whether launching a new brand or evolving an existing one, I focus on clarity, flexibility, and visual language that supports long-term growth.
Thomas A. Mason Co.
I led the website design for Thomas A. Mason Co., creating a seamless blend of visual identity and user experience. The layouts were built to reflect the brand’s legacy while delivering a clean, responsive interface that made it easy for users to navigate, engage, and take action. Every detail, from typography to interaction, was designed to reinforce credibility and accessibility.
LUXURY MULTI-FAMILY COMMUNITY
Through research and demographic insight, I developed a print suite for a luxury multi-family property. This included brochures, signage, window clings, and stationery. The creative direction was tailored to attract high-income renters and align with the property’s premium brand. Every piece was crafted to tell a cohesive story from the curb to the leasing office.
SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN
I design performance-driven social media campaigns that build engagement, grow community, and support conversion. My work focuses on visuals that stop the scroll and messaging that resonates. From static posts to short-form video, every asset is optimized for reach and results across platforms like Instagram, Meta, and Pinterest.
MAVEN: The Mars Experience
MAVEN: The Mars Experience was designed as a fully immersive concept blending VR, narrative environments, and interactive exploration. From UI screens to environment graphics, every element was crafted to transport users beyond observation and into the role of active explorers. This project reflects my passion for conceptual storytelling at the edge of design and technology.
