    paper Applied Visions Inc. Rebrand and Web Design

    Applied Visions is a trusted tech consulting group with a storied past, but it was struggling to look modern and exciting to new clients. I refreshed their brand by consulting with key members of their organization to understand their core values and goals for the future, and applying that energy and modern styles to their existing framework.

    Where before there was outdated and inconsistent blue/white or neon/black styling, I brought strong purples instead, and a sunset palette of colors paired with angular designs to imply movement and energy. This I expanded into a full design system and applied to the website, slide decks, and various marketing collateral.
