    uniE621 Subtle Shift, Strong Foundations
    I led a full visual refresh for a subtle rebrand, designing a new logo, updated colour palette, and refreshed fonts. The new branding is crafted to feel like an evolution, not a departure, in line with senior leadership’s request to “keep it familiar.” The branding guidelines balanced clarity, consistency, and a soft step forward. While the project went unpublished due to business changes, it remains as one of my favourite example of “thinking out of the box, in the box”. logo graphicdesigner branding designer

This rapid project focused on capturing Boost’s dynamic energy and versatility, delivering a clear, professional visual identity that’s non-binary and modern. Included is a campaign idea to spark engagement quickly and effectively. logo graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer
