From 2017 to 2021, I designed Dailyhuman's app, brand, and design system. Design covered the alpha, beta, and MVP states of an iOS app. After a successful private beta with a host of teams, the company then decided to start development on a Web App, which I also designed.
As a web and brand designer for Reasons to be Cheerful, a nonprofit online magazine founded by David Byrne, I designed the website and brand to inspire curiosity and hope for a better world. I continue to work on the website, providing direction and execution on front-end updates, and leading my team of engineers as they work on back-end updates while also continuing to develop the brand's visual guidelines and expanding its design system.
In 2021, I partnered with HWKN, a global architecture firm based in NYC, to design and develop their portfolio and magazine website.
