Super Age

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.

Logomark

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.

Optimism — Well-being begins with Optimism

Media & Technology Brand

Client work via Pardon.

Optimism

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.

Simple

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

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.

Google brand foundations: Focus on the user, Build for everyone, Build from white

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.

Build from White

Color should create focus, maintain readability, balance the composition, and provide subtle depth without dominating the illustration.

Use Color Effectively

Color should create focus, maintain readability, balance the composition, and provide subtle depth without dominating the illustration.

Design for Everyone

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.

Design Low to High Fidelity

A tiered fidelity system scales illustration detail based on size and context, ensuring visuals remain purposeful, balanced, and reserved for moments of delight.

Fidelity tiers from icon to spot illustration, scene, and hero image

Design for Scale

Illustrations adapt to different sizes by simplifying nonessential details while preserving clarity and the core message.

Characters

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.

Skillshop

With the launch of Google Skillshop, the new visual identity moved from a style guide into a living product. I helped oversee the implementation of the illustration system by creating custom course assets, reviewing artwork for brand consistency, and ensuring the visual language was applied cohesively across Google's expanding learning platform.

Exhibition Brand Identity

Client work via Pardon.

Tangerine Dreams

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.
