The identity for Halletts Point Phase II was built to feel human and lived in. Every decision, from typography to texture, was guided by the idea of home as something soft, grounding, and connected.
Each symbol tells part of the story, reflecting moments of togetherness, comfort, and ease that define life by the water.
The system expanded into a full identity, translating brand values into tangible expressions across print and environment.
The brochure, included in the resident welcome package, captures the warmth and ease of life at Halletts Point through understated typography and material detail.
Leasing video created to showcase the Halletts Point brand system in motion. The animation reveals the formation of the symbols and their seamless transitions into one another, emphasizing the interconnected structure of the identity.
From retail vinyls to city buses, the brand system scaled into environmental applications designed to strengthen visibility and community presence.
To extend the brand beyond the building itself, I art directed a neighborhood shoot that captured the authentic rhythm and charm of Astoria. The imagery was guided by the same tonal principles as the brand — soft light, texture, and a sense of belonging.

Halletts Point

Lead Brand Designer • Creative Direction

Halletts Point is a multi-phase waterfront residential development in Astoria, requiring a brand that could evolve alongside the neighborhood while supporting immediate leasing efforts. I led the creative direction and developed a flexible identity system spanning digital, print, environmental graphics, sales collateral, advertising, and photography direction. Rather than creating one-off marketing pieces, I focused on building a scalable visual language that could be applied consistently across every resident and leasing touchpoint. The result was a cohesive brand system designed to support both launch campaigns and the continued growth of the development.

Designed a cross-channel marketing campaign spanning Instagram and email to communicate product benefits through compelling visual storytelling.

Adapt Naturals

Creative Direction • Integrated Campaign

I created this self-initiated project to explore how educational content for a science-led supplement brand could feel more premium, engaging, and easier to navigate. The concept reimagines Instagram as a storytelling channel by improving visual hierarchy, pacing, and information architecture while maintaining the brand's credibility. The work demonstrates my approach to translating complex health information into accessible content that encourages users to continue learning rather than feeling overwhelmed.

Developed a strategic product launch concept featuring social creative and email marketingt o demonstrate an integrated customer journey.
Designed a practitioner-focused LinkedIn carousel that translated clinical research into clear, engaging content for healthcare professionals.

Tiny Health

Creative Direction • Social Campaign

For this concept, I explored how motion, typography, and sequential storytelling could simplify a complex health topic for social media. The objective was to create educational content that feels approachable without sacrificing scientific credibility. Every frame was designed to build curiosity, reinforce key messages, and guide viewers naturally through the narrative. The project reflects my interest in designing marketing that educates first while strengthening trust in the brand.

Designed a product launch campaign spanning paid social, email marketing, and web to create a cohesive customer journey across digital touchpoints.

Tumble

Creative Direction • Integrated Campaign

This campaign reimagines Tumble through the lens of modern hospitality. Drawing inspiration from Parisian apartment culture, I created a campaign built around the ritual of gathering—friends sharing cuisine, conversation, and slow evenings in thoughtfully curated spaces. Rather than centering the product, the creative positions Tumble as an enabler of beautiful everyday experiences, appealing to a design-conscious audience with elevated taste and strong cultural curiosity. The concept was designed as a scalable campaign system that could extend across social, email, paid media, and brand storytelling.

A full-scale creative campaign for One World Trade Center’s penthouses, blending CGI, photography, and print design to express a new language of modern prestige.

One World Trade Center

Integrated Campaign • Art Direction

For the launch of the One World Trade Center Penthouses, I led the art direction for campaign imagery supporting one of New York City's most iconic luxury residences. Working closely with photographers, stylists, casting, CGI artists, and internal stakeholders, I helped shape a visual narrative that reflected the sophistication of the property while supporting sales and marketing initiatives. The final creative extended across digital advertising, print, and promotional materials, ensuring a consistent premium experience across every customer touchpoint.

Led end-to-end brand development and market launch for Not That Sweet, spanning naming, verbal identity, visual systems, experiential debut deliverables, and ongoing social content strategy. Work focused on establishing brand presence, shaping audience perception, and guiding engagement through platform-aware creative direction.

Not That Sweet

Creative Direction • Brand Identity

Not That Sweet needed a brand experience that felt as distinctive as the café itself. I developed the visual identity, (in the process of designing and buildnig the website), directed and shot photography, and created an adaptable marketing system spanning packaging, menus, social media, and seasonal campaigns. The focus was on creating a cohesive brand that could evolve alongside the business while giving the owner practical tools to maintain consistency across every customer interaction.

Raffles Boston

Editorial Design

I designed a luxury sales brochure that translated the Raffles hospitality experience into a tactile print piece for prospective buyers. Every design decision, from typography and pacing to photography and layout, was made to reinforce the brand's premium positioning. The publication balances editorial storytelling with practical sales communication, creating an experience that reflects the level of craftsmanship expected from one of the world's most recognized hospitality brands.

Lora
Lora is a conceptual plant-based skincare brand inspired by the natural world where a melange of time-tested, pure ingredients combined with current research from around the globe delivers a range of luxurious skincare products. I designed the visual identity, the packaging, creative direction and the website with its “natural luxury” at the forefront of the brand. The Lora brand aesthetics are luxury, but minimalistic, feminine and emotive. I was inspired by nature and the human form while incorporating captivating imagery and a sensual use of typography and organic layout.

Halletts Point
Inspired by the Danish concept of Hygge, Halletts Point is a residential community in Astoria built around warmth, connection, and everyday ease. For Phase II, I led the branding from concept through rollout—shaping a visual identity that feels grounded, soft, and human. Through intentional typography, color, voice, and layout, each touchpoint was designed to create a sense of home. From signage to print collateral, the brand invites residents to slow down and feel a true sense of belonging.

OWTC – Penthouse I&II
For the top two penthouses at One World Trade Center, I led art direction for a campaign crafted to capture the distinct atmosphere of the building’s highest floors. From early concept to final execution, I shaped the visual world—establishing tone, directing casting, styling, body language, and overseeing both CGI production and final retouching. The campaign blends modern prestige with restraint, evoking a mood of elevated minimalism. I also designed the four-week ROS media placements and a print feature in Commercial Observer to support the campaign launch and drive sustained visibility.
