Movie 01 · Brand revamp · AI SaaS

Zuper

An AI operating system for field service, with a brand that hadn’t made up its mind. I rebuilt the visual language end to end: one locked orange, a cast of mini-human workers instead of stock photos, a caped mascot for every AI agent, a live design system, and a brand that ships as a Claude skill.

Role
Senior Manager, Visual Design. Led end to end.

Colour, characters, type, web, decks, email, social, DLS, AI tooling

Movie 02 · Rebrand · Procurement SaaS

Spendflo

A procurement SaaS with a logo, a font and three pinks, and no identity. I pitched the rebrand, built a small in-house studio, and turned the old three bars into three stacked layers. New mark, identity, website and global launch campaign, all released on one day.

Role
Manager, Visual Design. Pitched and led the rebrand.

The making of

What I bring to a team.

01Brand from zero to system.

Positioning to mark to guidelines to the hundredth template. I’ve done the whole arc twice, in-house, for SaaS companies selling globally.

02A player-coach.

I build and run small multidisciplinary studios: art direction, honest critique, delivery. I still design every day, so the team never waits on me.

03Design that scales without me.

Live design systems, self-serve asset libraries and brand rules shipped as AI tooling, so marketing and sales move fast and stay on-brand.
