    paper Logo design

    I have designed several logos over the last two years, for individual clients and branding projects. I’m mostly interested in type-focused logos that set the brand apart through stylization and enhanced letterforms. My approach to logo design is “less is more”. I have found that the most effective logos do not try to illustrate all aspects of the brand in a single graphic instance, but instead have a distinctive, memorable effect that works in harmony with the rest of the brand’s style guide.

    I believe a logo should be flexible to work across multiple channels. The logo must be effective at both large and small sizes, in color and black & white. An abbreviated form of the logo and monograms is often necessary to apply your brand’s identity within the constraints of certain online or print applications.

    paper Reports

    I have worked on several one-pagers and reports over the last two years for a client in the Legal Tech field. For this particular client, their main form of advertising is expert White papers, where they present themselves as experts in the field in order to drive client conversion. It has been imperative that the design of these papers exude authority and professionalism.

    To achieve this aim, I have developed a flexible, on-brand template that provides a consistent, identifiable look and feel across reports while accommodating a diverse range of materials.

    The one-pagers and reports I have designed incorporate data visualization, flowcharts, product illustrations, pull quotes, images, and client logos. However, the main content to arrange is the text. Through this experience, I feel confident in my ability to adeptly arrange and typeset text in a way that is easy to read, engaging, and draws attention to the most important moments.

    paper Illustration

    Simple digital illustrations, graphic elements, and icons. I specialize in creating illustrations that work in harmony with one’s brand, but am open to doing one-off illustrations as well, as long as the direction is clear.

    paper Presentation design

    Samples of deck presentations I designed throughout 2025 for a client in the Legal Tech field.

    Required consistent use of brand guidelines; developing a style guide for headings and sub-headings; on-brand illustrations; sourcing on-brand photography; clear and bold arrangement of data and numbers; compelling data visualization (i.e., charts, graphs, etc.)

    paper Social Media templates

    Through several projects, I have created digital assets that can be applied to multiple social media channels (i.e., Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and email.) These often come in the form of templates that can be easily edited and reused by various team members.
