PRINCIPLE DESIGNER & DEVELOPER
While at Kota Solar, I updated their branding while keeping their existing logo and fonts. I was able to take a look at all web services and brought their annual app hosting expenses from $120k+ a year to only $600 a year by taking all existing I.P. and web apps and recreating their old app environment in Elementor, WordPress, and AI generated CSS.
Starting at Kota, I was immediately impressed by their approachable company culture geared to help men in their early 20’s empower themselves. This company culture led the brand expression and copy voice for all documents. I came up with a plan to gamify the training process through AI generated imagery, UI patterns, and copy that would inspire and engage new reps, creating a feeling of safety as they tackled the often difficult process of door-to-door sales.
Print Media
All print media was distributed using Canva Templates. This allowed for dozens of rep managers to take a template and fill in the details of any form, letter, or social post and utilize it with a specific message for their team without the need for constant designer communication.

Kota’s “Bootcamp” training app serves as both a learning platform and presentation tool. Designed in Figma, it features a clean interface with minimal flourishes and engaging background imagery. Built with WordPress and Elementor, it is fully responsive and functional. Depicter adds transitions and animations to enhance presentations, while Google Analytics tracks user activity and time spent per screen. The project blends design and functionality to support effective learning, engaging teaching, and easy presentation, with a well-organized file structure that allows any new designers to make quick curriculum updates.
Kota was a joy to work on for the year I was there. I still talk with several company leaders regularly and have maintained good rapport with the Kota Fam. I’m proud of the work I did with them and the laughter and ambition that was a theme of every interaction.

START UP
While contracting for the startup incubator Inception, I designed the app concept for Bookshelf, a video catalog and parental control platform. Bookshelf enables parents to create a permission hierarchy for their children, allowing access to curated video content from YouTube, Vimeo, and other sources while blocking inappropriate material. Additionally, it features a community page where parent admins can share and discover playlists, making it easy to expand each family’s video library with trusted recommendations.

VISUAL DESIGN SYSTEMS
I developed the ADKOM icon library to create a cohesive visual system for the company’s extensive range of out-of-home (OOH) advertising platforms. The icons were organized into two distinct categories, electric and print. using a bold green lightning bolt for digital media and an orange swoosh for print formats. This visual identity made it easier for partners to quickly navigate ADKOM’s offerings and communicate options with clarity and consistency.

As part of an undergraduate design project, I created a fully responsive website for Aspire, a local nonprofit dance studio that teaches children Jazz, Contemporary, Ballet, and Hip Hop. Though the project was a conceptual redesign, it followed Google’s Material Design system to ensure a clean, intuitive interface across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Special attention was given to accessibility standards and legal compliance, making the design inclusive and aligned with real-world usability requirements.

I designed the prototype for Jupiter Car Wash, an unreleased instant check-in app focused on streamlining the user experience from arrival to wash completion. Built in Adobe XD, the design prioritized clean user flows, a strong and consistent visual identity, and effortless navigation. The goal was to make the check-in process as intuitive as possible, combining bold branding with functional simplicity to ensure a smooth experience for every user.

Living Almonds was a personal passion project focused on creating a clean, environmentally friendly line of flavored and spiced almonds. I developed the full concept design, including the logo, website, and packaging for a variety of globally inspired flavors like “Miso Sriracha,” “Thai Curry,” and “Mango Coconut.” One standout flavor, “The Spice Melange,” paid homage to the Dune series with a sci-fi twist. The branding emphasized natural ingredients, sustainability, and bold, adventurous flavor profiles, combining visual storytelling with mindful design.
