Wellness & Longevity Brand

Super Age's publication, "The Mindset," redefines aging as a transformative journey,
celebrating the wisdom, strength, and vitality of aging.
We envisioned a world where aging is celebrated as a journey of renewal and vitality. Through
Super Age, we sought to reimagine the narrative around aging, drawing inspiration from Earth's
timeless wisdom and resilience. We developed a brand identity and launched "The Mindset"
publication to inspire and empower individuals on their journey through life's natural stages.
Since launch, Super Age has grown to 1M+ newsletter subscribers in under a
year, with a 54% open rate — well above industry benchmarks — and a
9.8% CTOR. The brand has expanded from a digital publication into
in-person experiences, including longevity-focused Immersions, live conversations with
the Super Age Scientific Advisory Board, and the Super Age Games, the first in-person
longevity competition of its kind.

This symbol captures this timeless rhythm, reminding us that each moment is part of a much larger cycle. "Super Age" is one of these fleeting yet transformative phases — a stage of life where renewal, growth, and vitality intersect. Just like the Lissajous curve, we are shaped by time's flow, always in motion, always part of the greater ceaseless journey of life.
The color and photography of the brand embraces the deep relationship between humans and nature, drawing inspiration from four natural ecosystems: forests, peaks, deserts, and reefs.

Media & Technology Brand

Optimism is the well-being platform behind a portfolio of flagship inbox-first brands —
including Super Age, All Healthy, and Ageist — connecting expertise from the inbox to the
web to real life through live events, immersions, and community experiences.
We built the brand identity to hold that structure together: one platform, one visual
language, flexible enough to house distinct publications while keeping the throughline of
optimism — grounded, not naive — legible across every touchpoint. All Healthy alone reaches
1.3M+ daily readers.

Optimism is our North Star—steady, bright, and expansive. It represents the energy that pulls people forward, offering clarity and direction even in uncertain moments. Like a constant celestial marker, optimism reminds us that progress is always possible and the future is always within reach.

Media & Knowledge Platform
Concept work for Simple via Pardon — proposed rebrand, not implemented.
Simple is the leading independent provider of knowledge, data, and access for the next
generation of family offices — connecting them with experts and best-in-class suppliers
across the ecosystem.
We developed a brand built on clarity: a refined ampersand-derived mark and a
restructured wordmark, designed to bring simplicity and confidence to a famously
complex world.

We studied a range of ampersand directions to see whether a new symbol could better fit the concept, but ultimately kept the existing mark for brand recognition — refining it into a more geometric, elevated version of itself.

Technology Company
Google's Mastery team developed e-learning experiences that helped sellers build
product knowledge and professional skills through engaging, accessible training. As
the platform expanded to reach a broader, external audience, Google Mastery evolved
into Google Skillshop. Supporting that transition meant reimagining the visual
identity into a scalable design system that could serve a global audience while
preserving the familiarity and flexibility of the existing illustration library.
As part of the creative team, I helped bring this new visual language to life by
creating illustrations, educational graphics, and digital assets that translated the
evolving brand across hundreds of learning experiences. The result was a cohesive
system that balanced consistency, scalability, and clarity while supporting the
continued growth of Google's learning platform.
The Foundations The Google brand foundations are meant to help create content, imagery, or subrands that are Google-y and fall in line with the overarching Google brand. These were our North Star for this project and helped us navigate the making of a more specific set of guidelines that would be crafted particularly for Mastery.
New Mastery Brand Style Guide Built on Google's established brand foundations, the new Mastery visual identity was developed through extensive exploration and refinement to create a brand that felt approachable, purposeful, and scalable. The following principles became the foundation of the new visual system and guided every illustration, layout, and learning experience.
Color should create focus, maintain readability, balance the composition, and provide subtle depth without dominating the illustration.
Color should create focus, maintain readability, balance the composition, and provide subtle depth without dominating the illustration.
The visual language is designed for a global audience by eliminating text, currency symbols, and culturally or linguistically specific imagery, allowing illustrations to remain universally accessible.
A tiered fidelity system scales illustration detail based on size and context, ensuring visuals remain purposeful, balanced, and reserved for moments of delight.
Illustrations adapt to different sizes by simplifying nonessential details while preserving clarity and the core message.
A diverse cast of characters reflects Google's global audience, creating an inclusive and approachable learning experience. Characters are used intentionally to support storytelling and reinforce key concepts, while simpler elements, such as hands, provide a subtle human presence without adding unnecessary visual complexity.
Exhibition Brand Identity
Client work via Pardon.
Tangerine Dreams is a group exhibition celebrating the collaborative relationship
between artist Mario Zoots and collector Nicholas Pardon. Known for his distinctive
collage work primarily on paper, Zoots expands his practice here as a lens-based
artist working with cultural fragments that honor and update conventional collage
methods.
The identity carries that spirit through the show — a bold tangerine field paired with
a vintage-inflected display serif, rolled out across signage, environmental graphics,
invitations, and merchandise. Presented by Pardon.
