Design leadership that creates clarity, consistency, and leverage as teams grow.

I help teams move faster by turning creative knowledge, brand principles, and production workflows into systems people can actually use.

Across design, brand, product, and web, my focus is reducing bottlenecks, improving onboarding, and helping teams produce strong work without every decision flowing through one person.

Design systems that help teams grow.

Most growing teams do not have a talent problem. They have a context, process, and decision-making problem. I help make the work repeatable, the principles clear, and the right decisions easier to make without constant approvals.

Creative Operations

Building repeatable workflows that reduce approvals, production overhead, and dependency on a single decision-maker.

Branding

Sims Exteriors & Remodeling, Inc.

Evolving a 30-Year Brand Without Losing Trust

A rebrand that keeps what homeowners already trust

No items found.
View case study

Sims Exteriors & Remodeling had built a strong reputation over decades in their local market. Their brand was recognizable and trusted — but starting to feel dated in a more competitive, modern landscape. The challenge wasn’t to reinvent the brand. It was to evolve it without losing the trust it had already earned. We approached the project by identifying the elements that carried the most recognition — including the iconic deer symbol — and refining them into a more modern, cohesive identity. The focus was on clarity, consistency, and confidence rather than drastic change. Alongside the brand update, we developed a range of supporting materials and visual directions to ensure the identity translated effectively across real-world applications — from marketing collateral to everyday brand touchpoints. The result was a refreshed brand that feels current and professional, while still familiar to homeowners who had trusted the company for years.

Making a Real Estate Brand Impossible to Ignore. 25,000 homeowners reached

View case study

In a market where most real estate teams operate under the same brand umbrella, differentiation becomes difficult — and often, invisible. This project focused on repositioning Pilon Real Estate Group beyond the typical RE/MAX presence by developing a distinct brand identity and a cohesive set of marketing assets designed to stand out at scale. The work included branding, print collateral, and large-scale advertising across multiple channels — from postcards and brochures to buses, benches, and city-wide placements — reaching over 25,000 households monthly. Rather than blending in, the goal was to create a brand that felt immediately recognizable and impossible to ignore. A direction that not only increased visibility, but also shifted how the team was perceived in a highly competitive market. The result was a clear departure from industry norms — one that sparked attention, differentiation, and ultimately, memorability.
