To enhance the interface & overall user experience, the site features many slick enhancements, animations, large photographs & graphics — all developed within a custom, ground-up build which organizes & archives their large portfolio of industrial design.
This website utilizes new CSS3 technology & the modern, scrolling behavior of users on all devices, to present sections of the site in the exact size of the users' devices' viewports. It uses extensive responsive layout breakpoints to show all Attorneys properly across all devices.
The newly redesigned website for this Möbius New Media client showcases a fresh, contemporary interface with a newly restructured, hierarchical information architecture. This site features a responsive user interface, content with hierarchy & overall simplification & utilizing technology accessible on all modern devices. In addition, it was built within WordPress, for client control & simple updating. The major challenge, however, was how to provide a meaningful user experience; providing the massive amounts of content in meaningful, digestable & understandable ways. The first interaction the user experiences, is a series of the most asked, most important, top questions that compel their client. This is a presented as a pathway with call-to-actions for each topic. Throughout the site, the varying types of content are organized using different systems — utilizing tabs, dropdowns, accordians, et cetera — presenting one digestable chunk at a time. The site truly brings their appearance into the new millennium, provides the user with an enjoyable, informative experience within an intuitive and easy-to-use interface.

Working with our team's Creative Director, & alongside the A.A. Brand team — we pitched ideas for dimensional mailers that would "put the viewer in the scene" ... while also expressing "30% more." This favorite was designed, to provide intrigue through imagery of an Italian coast-line, ask the viewer a question — then putting the viewer in this new world.

Choice Privileges Credit Card
Overall credit card re-design / re-fresh for Choice's new Brand Identity. It is created using an orange core, with a pearescellent white top, featuring spot gloss varnish. The brand logos are screened back white, as a subtle grouping of the brand family. The bottom of the card features Metallic coating with a matte finish.
Working with the Choice Privileges Brand & Legal Team to find a unique solution & how to display the Choice Privileges families' identities on the card. Our unique solution was to print the brand's logo on the back of the card — the first time we had attempted this. However, there was still a requirement to display the brands on the front of the card, & also a request to not display them. Solving this problem, by subtley displaying each sub-brand in white screen, & in full-color on the back.
We worked directly with the card manufacturer, participating in several proof tests, & on-site press approval of the final product.
GTI Millwork was rebranded from the original Group Three Inc. We evaluated their company, employees, work, clients & vendors. In-depth branding discoveries were realized & from this collection of information, the GTI brand identity was created. The logo shape represents the unique quality of their traditional work & the blocky typography suggests the boxy nature of most millwork. The approach was pragmatic & traditional but with flair & uniqueness.

The ROB brand identity began with the iconic literal logo, which features the highlight color of any photograph shown within the center lens.

The rebranding of this Civil & Geotechnical Engineering, Land Planning & Surveying form involved a subtle transition from the old dated logo & identity into a newer, modern representation of the firm.

Lightwork Photography's objective was to target female clientele, specifically brides & moms. Because Lightwork's owner is also a woman, it made sense to develop a feminine logo & identity.
