Hidden Scar Brand

Marketing Materials

Examples from a new patient-focused brand developed for Stryker. The brand’s goal is to raise awareness among breast cancer patients about a new surgery technique that reduces scarring, as well as to encourage surgeons to train in this technique.

The Skimm

Illustrations

Headline images created for featured articles on the Skimm app, emails, and website.

Additionally, there was a separate illustration style for social media posts. This style was meant to feel more hand-drawn rather than professional, and appeared on the Skimm’s Facebook and Instagram.

Amplifinity was looking to update their sales presentation. In order to do this, I reviewed the flow of information and constructed a basic narrative:

1. Introduction: We are Amplifinity, and we’re going to use our platform to help you make referrals.

2. Types of Partners: Resell and referral partners are two different types of opportunities, and based on our data we believe you should focus on referral partners.

4. Referral Partner Program: Here is how a referral partner program works, as well as pain points you may encounter.

5. Amplifinity’s Differentiation: Amplifinity’s platform is designed to address those pain points, and will make your sales process more efficient and successful.

6. Conclusion: Amplifinity will increase your sales, here is how to contact us.

With the presentation divided into simpler parts, I moved on to thumbnail sketching, and then wireframing.

Once the content and wireframe layout was finalized, I developed a color scheme and curated a gallery of possible stock images for review. The photos and logo placements were treated according to brand standards, and a new style of icon was developed specifically for this project. Below is the final presentation.

I created some infographics for the Skimm’s Mental Health Guide. My task was to create four different graphics using a specific set of colors, images, and typography. These graphics were then placed in the guide to illustrate and emphasize important data.

This is a brief conceptual look at how an app for My Last Soundtrack might work. It was designed only to cover a few basic functions: logging in, signing up for an account, viewing pages, and creating a new page.

I created a mockup of the home screen, sketched user flow, drew thumbnails, and finally created a simple wireframe.

My Last Soundtrack is an incredible start-up company that provides users with a way to tell their life stories while simultaneously offering resources and support to those dealing with loss. With direct feedback from the founders Sue Kemple, Joe Cannon, and Carl Hammerdorfer, I worked to craft a brand that carefully balanced sensitivity and levity.
