Role: Lead Brand Designer
Services: Brand Identity Refresh, Report Production, Digital Illustrations, Motion Design
Project Description
Since 2021, I’ve been the lead visual designer for FrameWorks Institute focusing on translating complex research into accessible visual narratives. My work has included the creation of their unique collage art style, production of over 50+ data-driven research reports, several explainer videos series, and extensive brand documentation that has streamlined consistency and brand recognition.
As lead designer, I pioneered the FrameWork’s digital collage illustration system. By moving beyond single-image storytelling, The collage’s visual language was designed to enhanced audience comprehension on the nuance and interconnected nature of social issues.
I also scaled design operations by developing a comprehensive design system including editorial templates, brand guidelines, and an onboarding toolkit for new freelancers. This initiative streamlined workflows, reduced production time, and enabled rapid high-quality content delivery.
