Adding New Features to the Activity App

I love my Apple Watch, and have been fascinated at how effective it is at creating new daily habits. I was curious about applying the gamification used in the Activity App to encourage more relaxation into daily life.

In this project, I explore the idea of a new daily goal called the Mind Goal. I also added in a Rest Day option based on user feedback and research.

UI Design

Ikea WG Challenge

This was a project I worked on as a freelance art director and designer for jim&jim. The aim of the campaign was to show students and young flatmates that IKEA offers individual and stylish furniture for the young people. The campaign included a challenge to get young people to upload photos of their shared apartment on social media to win an apartment makeover. I designed the onboarding flow to sign up for the challenge as well as an icon set for the graphics.

Brand Identity design

Cheveux Hair & Beauty

Nicole was moving into a new space, and wanted a her logo and identity to better reflect the experience and service clients receive when visiting her salon. This was a super fun project because I got to use my lettering and illustrations skills to craft a unique brand identity. I created a collection of patterns for her to use on her site and on cards. Instead of the typical appointment reminder, we created a collection of inspiring or thought provoking messages on the back of her business cards.

Brand identity Design

Spouses of Google Logo

Google headquarters in Zürich has one the strongest spousal network in the world. This all volunteer group offers support, networking, and valuable integration services for spouses and families in the Zürich area. The original logo based on an older version of the Google logo. Working with the steering committee and Alison Light, we created a hand crafted wordmark to give the network a more professional look and reflect the strong sense of community. We also created a sublogo system for events and clubs and guidelines for using the logo in other cities.

Brand identity Design

Various Logos

Creating a cohesive brand identity is one of my favorite things to do because it's an important building block for all future design projects. Over the years I've refreshed logos to make an identity more modern and give it new life, as well as created logos and brand identities from scratch. This is a small selection of logos I've created.

Brand Identity design

Navitas Organics

While working as an inhouse designer at Navitas Organics, I had the immense privilege to take part the brand identity and package redesign. Navitas had product recognition on the shelf but customers did not recognize the brand by name. It was an exciting, year long process which started with an intensive sketching phase and ended in a complete packaging overhaul and site redesign. I moved to Zürich before the process was complete, and when I saw the new packaging in the wild I was very proud.

Marketing Campaign

Superfood+ Bar Launch

In 2016 Navitas came out with their first new product that wasn't in a bag, like all their other products. I worked on the packaging, in store displays, and a campaign of marketing materials for social media and print.

History of Superfoods

This was a multimedia campaign I worked on at Navitas Organics in conjunction with LA Food Photography. We created a series of short videos that highlighted the history, exceptional nutrition facts, and a simple recipe. I made the graphics and LA Food Photography did the recipe video.
