Contracted Designer & Developer

Zion Forge, initially "Inception" before a rebrand, was a referral from Ruck's CEO. The company's purpose is to validate and test start-up ideas, moving start-ups through their process and funding the successful experiments while also attaching a CEO.

I was brought on to run their design and marketing efforts on their high impact team. Timelines ranged from a few weeks to often creating initial branding and assets within days.

Over several months of part-time contracting, we successfully saw the launch and funding of Optio and pre-order success through their company Terraform.

Inception -> Zion Forge

While initially named "Inception", the CEO desired a way to be attached to the local religious community in Utah and also the iconic Zion National Park by renaming the company to "Zion Forge". A simple rework of the logo using the existing "O" icon with additional type was created to drive the company forward with newfound direction and purpose.

SOCIAL DESIGN

PITCH DECK DESIGN

TERRAFORM

Terraform is an adaptable case for gun owners, photographers, and anyone looking to carry their specialized equipment. Terraform is still under development and needed to output content in order to drive pre-sales and manufacturing costs. I worked with their sales team to create marketing flows and design deliverables to influence consumers towards pre-sales and also to attract potential investors. Terraform will be presenting at Shot Show 2026 in Vegas at the end of January.

MAVERICK

Maverick is an impressive airsoft ammo company whose first product boasts to be 2 times as fast and 4 times as accurate in initial testing rounds. The main challenge with Maverick was that the product was not able to be shown as their patent is still pending. Creating assets with sales and marketing teams proved challenging and created a need for hype advertising, targeting the consumer and investor who identifies with the spirit of the company.

PITCH DECK TEMPLATES

Because of the high rate of new brands tested at Zion Forge, there became a need for a repurposed pitch deck template that could be quickly branded per company. This allowed for founders to immediately take a template and begin their pitches to investors and seed funds.

Zion Forge asked for my every available skillset and challenged me regularly. As well as managing the design of the initial brand and over seven different brands in their system, I was tasked with design, code, marketing and recruiting and hiring while leading team meetings.
