LIVE TULA

We Help You Thrive

I designed and developed a modern brand and style guide for the company, establishing clear expectations for both digital and physical products. I created standards for the new mobile app and other digital assets, collaborating closely with stakeholders to enhance the overall member experience. During this process, it allowed me to build a strong partnership with engineers, offering direction and guidance to ensure alignment with the vision for LIVE TULA’s new products.

Role and Responsibilities

BRAND DESIGNER
UI/UX DESIGNER
ART DIRECTOR

UPSTAGE COMPANIES

Corporate Rebrand and Website Redesign

Upstage Companies has quickly become a leader in Utah’s Event Production services. In this rise, Upstage was in desperate need of a facelift with their brand, their online presence, and how they communicate with their current and future clients.

SAVAGE SERVICES

Mobile & Web Application Design

Developing a new ETS application was needed for Savage Services to simplify processes throughout the company. Savage recently acquired Environmental Sector (Enviroserve) and provides emergency response, environmental remediation, and waste management solutions for customers across the United States.

BONUSRIGHT

Web Application Design

I improved the user experience of a complicated spreadsheet system for employee bonus programs by developing a new interface for employees to interact with. The new design made the system easier to use, improved the efficiency and accuracy of the bonus tracking process, and was a win-win for businesses and employees.

JP STRONG

Passion Project

When you see children facing challenges and are passionate about a cause, you do what you can to help. I designed a T-shirt to support JP Gibson, a hero of mine who was fighting cancer for the second time. The Utah Jazz printed 500 shirts for the #JPStrong campaign, which sold out within minutes, gaining momentum. The NBA approved the logo quickly, and with the Jazz’s promotion, over $12,500 was raised to support the Gibson family’s medical expenses.
