Portfolio curated for HappyCo

Brand craft
with a builder’s
instinct.

I turn ideas into complete brand experiences—campaigns, web, events, social, sales stories, and motion—then build the systems that help the work stay useful long after launch.

Selected work / 01—03

Real work.
Built all the way through.

Three proof points chosen for HappyCo: a B2B SaaS brand system, a multi-channel sales platform, and campaign work that stays sharp across formats.

01 / eSOPH

A B2B SaaS brand that keeps its shape while it grows.

I extended a specialized public-safety technology brand across product education, partnerships, digital campaigns, sales collateral, and national trade-show environments—building a recognizable system instead of a stack of disconnected assets.

02 / Excelta

An urgent production rescue became a complete sales system.

A high-stakes catalog repair expanded into an ongoing partnership spanning art direction, technical sales collateral, product photography, trade-show graphics, content review, motion, and print production.

Creative ownership

Ian took the time to thoroughly understand the project requirements and my high-level direction. His ability to work independently with minimal oversight while still delivering such impressive work is a strength.

How I build

More than a beautiful handoff.

I like the messy middle: asking better questions, pressure-testing the idea, building the system, and staying close enough to production to know it works.

01

Concept to shipped

Creative direction, hands-on design, production checks, and final delivery stay connected.

02

Systems that scale

Templates, adaptable compositions, and clear guidance help one idea work across many channels.

03

Craft with leverage

Strong fundamentals pair with technical curiosity, automation, and AI-assisted workflows.

04

Creative partnership

Marketing, Sales, Product, and vendors get a designer who engages early and owns the outcome.

A considered AI practice

Use the machine for leverage. Keep judgment human.

This site is a live example: role-specific strategy, modular front-end build, responsive production, and visual QA—developed with AI in the loop and deliberate human decisions at every edit.
