Visual design work

thoughtfulcoffee • Coffee roaster in New York City

I designed a T-shirt, pop-up menus, stickers, flyers, and coffee bag for thoughtfulcoffee, spanning their physical and digital brand presence.

Stickers designed and printed for thoughtfulcoffee's "Coffee Club" as a bonus for subscribing to their curated coffee boxes.
Customers received a sticker with every coffee order.

Nightsail Game Studios • Independent game studio

I designed a logo ahead of their debut game Fortified Space for use in-game, on game updates, and across social media.

The logo depicts a sailboat as a flame, conveying the cozy feeling the studio strives to create with players.

In collaboration with Alexis Paneda ➹.

Atlassian (Trello app) • Tech company

I created visual assets for the marketing website, app, and conferences as part of my job as a product designer, in addition to several feature designs and content design across my work.
