Projects

2022

Collaborative tool that helps teams seamlessly submit and resolve visual feedback, bugs, and ideas on any web software.
The challenge was to turn the best of the existing two products—Toybox and BugReplay—into a new product.
I designed a browser extension and visual for the entire product, including a web application. I also contributed to building the brand identity.

Sora Union

Sora Union is your globally distributed creative partner and works for rapidly growing and category-defining customers in many industries.
I contributed to their brand identity design. I developed a 24-hour color system for the brand palette and built initial design guidelines.
