In an often chaotic world with what feels like little individual control, many people are turning to sleep betterment products to reduce and alleviate stress. To build upon their successful early growth, Gravity Products LLC began expanding upon its catalog of offerings—looking to develop a strong brand in what was quickly becoming a crowded category.

Taking this foundation and working hand-in-hand with leadership, I developed the following brand guidelines and worked to apply them to all products, creative initiatives, and communications, including partner communications.

The result was a nomination for Digiday’s 2019 ‘Brand of the Year’.

The HP Helion website illustrates HP's vision for cloud computing. It also acts as a map of available products & services and an information destination for regular updates on cloud.

Cloud computing customers often face difficulty in making the right decisions. The current product landscape has the valuable information and specific solutions customers want. But it is spread scattershot and often fueled by dialog that is confusing and contradictory. Plus, the cloud product is always changing. 

It’s a complex challenge to distill the vast array of information and products at HP's disposal—but the redesign of the HP Helion website offered this exact opportunity.

HP takes pride in presenting its extraordinary solutions in a straightforward, transparent way. To cater for cloud customers with differing needs, this means providing a range of content to engage users in different ways. 

For the customer who knows what they want, we created a graphic product map to categorize and navigate the many existing product pages. For those who are new to cloud computing, we created an educational slideshare as the homepage header to provide a digestible starting point. And for anyone looking to learn more about cloud computing, we created a content hub of topical news that can be sorted categorically. Each news item is social media-ready and shareable—ensuring that HP not only drives an engaging narrative but also invites conversation.

The HP Helion website is a responsive one, accessible on all web-browsing devices.

'A Gentleman's Call' was a social platform that invited users to submit ideas; the kind of genius that pops over a drink but tends to fall by the wayside. The winning idea was funded with $100,000 to become a reality. Partnering with GQ and our three hand-picked mentors, 5 semi-finalists were chosen and given a spread in the magazine before our winner was chosen.

To get attention, takeovers were staged on prominent websites such as ESPN, The New York Times and the first ever animated takeover of CNN.

With nearly 3,000 entries, over 100 million online impressions and thousands of repeat visitors engaging in as many conversations, a strong, lasting impression was made upon the target audience resulting in Ketel One's facebook fans growing exponentially.

All of these pieces were created as part of Ketel One Vodka's signature campaign, "Gentlemen, this is vodka". Uniting an ultra premium beverage with a nightlife that is both luxurious and edgy is nothing new. But applying a distinct masculine tone in order to attract a notoriously fickle demographic? That narrative ensured Ketel One would create and celebrate an entirely new category of drinker: The vodka-drinking gentleman.

This video was produced to define the voice, character and tonality of Ketel One Vodka and their content production for marketing and distribution purposes.

This font was born from exploration of an ambigram. Taking the name of my site and sketching countless variations of the letters, I arrived at this style that allows the letterforms to each rotate.

Borrowing notes from this final blackletter-style sketch, I set out to create a font which would make the future production of ambigrams much easier, by taking standard classic letterforms and rotating them 180º as I crafted each letter.

This iphone/android/facebook game was one chapter in an annual holiday saga. Every year the famed Hess toy truck is released for the holidays and this arcade-style tilt-shift game was released in tandem with the model of the year. 

Users can choose to race as either a stock car, or as the Hess truck itself across three diverse landscapes. Refueling along the way and testing your mettle by avoiding intense heavy traffic jams, the action is simple but addictive.
