Industry Experience

    uniE621 Fort Worth Jaguars Floorball Team — Brand Identity & Visual System
    For the Fort Worth Jaguars, I developed a brand identity that captures the speed, intensity, and emerging presence of floorball in the U.S. Grounded in the team’s role within the North American Floorball League—bringing together top talent from across the U.S. and Europe—the work focused on creating a bold, athletic system that feels both modern and competitive. I built a dynamic visual language through logo, color, typography, and supporting elements that translates seamlessly across uniforms, digital platforms, and promotional materials. The result is a cohesive brand that elevates the team’s presence, builds credibility in a growing sport, and helps connect with both local fans and a broader national audience. branding graphicdesigner designer logo

I focus on creating clear, purposeful images that highlight quality, function, and value. Whether in a controlled studio or on location, I ensure consistency while adjusting the tone to fit both premium products and practical, everyday use. logo branding illustrator designer

    uniE621 ULV — Brand Identity & Visual System
    For ULV, I built the brand identity from the ground up, translating its vision of attainable luxury and precision design into a clear, premium visual system. I began by exploring the competitive landscape and defining key audience segments to shape how the brand should present itself. From there, I developed the full identity—logo, typography, color palette, and supporting visual language—designed to balance performance with lifestyle appeal. The result is a refined, cohesive brand that establishes ULV as a credible, high-end option in the electric low-speed vehicle market and supports strong early recognition. graphicdesigner branding designer photo logo

    I led the brand identity redesign for Schaffer Manufacturing, helping align its visual presence with the strength and precision of its work. Starting with a review of the market, competitors, and customer needs, I helped shape the overall direction for both messaging and design. I created a more modern, cohesive identity system that brought clarity and consistency across marketing and customer-facing materials. The result is a stronger, more credible brand that better supports sales conversations, improves recognition in a competitive market, and reflects the quality and durability behind Schaffer’s fabrication and Hardox wear part solutions. branding graphicdesigner webdesigner designer photo logo
