Visual Identity/Branding
As the lead freelance graphic designer for the marketing team at NOW Arena since 2014, I have worked on a variety of projects such as event branding, sponsorship proposals, and environmental creative. In 2019, the NOW Arena sponsorship team tasked me to create a proposal for NOW Foods that would secure the naming rights for the arena. My responsibilities included designing the logo, creating branding guidelines, and producing arena environmental mock-ups. After the deal was finalized, I completed the final logo elements and designed a large banner that is now displayed outside the building’s entrance.
