Roles
  • Art Director: built a full brand system through 5 brand changes, from first sketch to final site build
  • Web Designer: built two full websites for 2 of the brands
  • Problem-Solver: absorbed changing client rebrands without missing the deadline
The Approach

Republic needed a brand and website within a month. As I was developing the brand, the client cycled through several working names from Citadel and Whitehall, before settling on Republic. With each new name, they requested new logo options. At the same time, I built a flexible wireframe, knowing the brand was in flux, so I wouldn't have to start over each name change.

The Outcome

The brand and website launched on time. Four logos, two site builds, and a last-minute color change. And a happy client.
