Manning Drone Services
2024How do you bridge the gap between the technical and the meaningful? Manning Drone Services stradles a unique space in the market—offering both structural inspections for large commercial institutions and aerial documentation for meaningful moments. 

I developed a brand strategy that positions MDS as a trustworthy partner in capturing what matters (be it data or documentation). Playing with perspective, I designed a logomark, identity system, and website that ties together themes of trust, elevation, and digital mapping.

TikTok Creative Cards
2023I helped lead design for this digital tool—a deck of cards, aimed to help content creators and small businesses develop their brands on TikTok.

TikTok came to us with a wide breadth of content—
our goal was to distill this information into something clear, consise, and recognizably playful. Taking inspiration from the app itself, we utilized color and motion to guide users through the experience.
