You got power


MN8 is the enterprise renewable energy company, relentlessly making energy smarter, cleaner, more accessible and more efficient. Goldman Sachs’s spin-out of its renewable energy business created a paradigm-shifting opportunity to put power – literally and metaphorically – in the hands of the customer.

The logo concept and “all orange everything” ideas were all Steve and Kat; the negative space 8/colon/power socket logo concept was a winner early on. I worked on naming, logo concepting, website design, design systems, and the guidelines.

Learn everywhere


Absorb’s Learning Management System ​(or LMS) is for enterprises and organizations across all industries to train employees, customers, partners, and members anywhere in the world. By reflecting Absorb’s customer-service-led reputation, we pushed the brand to embrace bright, clean, and friendly design patterns. 

The website rebuild has been the most intense of my career, redesigning   and migrating over 400 pages to a new CMS while codifying the refreshed brand at the same time. However, teams across Absorb really live up to their caring reputation, with too many folks to list stepping up to build, test, and review pages throughout the process.

Absorb’s evolving look has unveiled an eLearning company looking more “grown up” and ready to keep scaling. 🚀

Great care lives here


Lifepoint is a national for-profit healthcare provider, currently operating in 89 locations across the United States. The network is deeply connected within and committed to the communities it serves. In many of them, the hospital is as vital a part of community infrastructure as roads and schools.

The heart created the foundation for a visual identity system based on a palette of clean white and vibrant color, applied through a rigorously developed library of crop configurations originating from the dot motif.

Making QR codes fun!


Every holiday season, Thackway McCord partners with an artist to create a series of chocolate bars to send as gifts. For 2021, I pitched the idea of drawing custom QR codes linking to some fun, TM-branded url. The pandemic had made the codes ubiqutous, but their most common use cases for a no-contact-on-demand-service felt like a missed opportunity. 

What began as abstract drawings of QR codes (see 0102, 03 for examples) ended up as portraits of animals coupled with 8-bit style gifs and stickers with individual phrases and personalities that we were workshopping. 

Monotype liked how we used Cotford against the glitchy, erratic look of the codes and sprite art. And then our silly gifs started getting popular on giphy  by getting posted as stickers on instagram.

And finally, and most importantly, my cat starred in the case study alongside his illustration.
