BYU BSU REBRAND
Recently, I was lucky enough to lead the creative team in a rebrand of BYU's Black Student Union. As creatives we worked closely with Kofi Aidoo, strategist in the BYU AdLab and member of the BSU presidency, to create a new visual identity for the BSU, including logos (one main and several variations), fonts, accent colors, and instagram layouts/design elements that are bold enough to provide transform their media presence yet simple enough to be carried out by future presidencies to come. The rebrand rolled out in February 2021 in celebration of Black History Month.
Many men are reluctant to talk about depression because of societal stigmas regarding masculinity. As a result, they bury their emotions under a hard exterior.
In response to the D&AD New Bloods Google brief, this campaign sheds light on the issue by relating it to lyrics of specific songs emerging from the 80's UK New Wave scene. All of the songs chosen sound happy and light, but are lyrically sad and dark.
​
This campaign is a work-in-progress and will be finished by May 1, 2020. For more information on the brief, visit the D&AD New Bloods website.

Pop-Tarts fan base has historically been split into two groups: those who prefer their tarts toasted, and those who do not. This campaign presents Pop-Tarts-branded propaganda from both sides, in an all-out war of the tart.

There's nothing worse than losing a prized possession (or even a not-so-prized possession). It be be infuriating, even driving us to the brink of madness in our attempts to recover what we lost or compensate for its absence. Luckily, Tile Sticker renders this struggle a thing of the past.

OLD BRANDING
The BSU presidency asked for new logos and ideas to visually streamline their instagram account.
The BSU requested a highlight color for their new brand identity and decided to go with this yellow after a few rounds of mockups. Not a bad choice if you ask me. They also indicated that they will be highlighting more stories of individual BSU members in their posts going forward. This new layout style (and the templates we've provided) allows them to do that while still leaving room for other content and maintaining a more dynamic visual presence.
Of course, with the new rollout, there had to be merch. Masks and stickers are in production as of February 2021, and T-Shirts will be coming soon.
