KLARITY SF SUMMIT 2025                        




Title: Klarity 2025 SF Summit
Project: Event Design
Role: Senior Brand Designer & Lead Art Director
Year: 2025

As the sole designer on this project, I was tasked with bringing one of Klarity’s flagship events to life—a full-day summit exploring the future of Finance Transformation. The event centered on how Klarity’s products empower teams to unlock automation and align AI-driven processes with strategic goals.

Because Klarity is still a growing brand, I leaned into our established visual identity to ensure familiarity and brand recognition, while layering in thoughtful, elevated design moments to reflect our forward-thinking mission. A central concept I brought to life was a “build-your-own Lego minifigure” bar—a playful, symbolic activation that reinforced Klarity’s belief that with the right tools, you can build anything.

I also designed Klarity-branded coffee cups, sandwiches, swag and event collateral that brought surprise-and-delight moments to the experience. Branded iPads, custom signage, and a cohesive visual system tied it all together—creating an environment that felt strategic, trustworthy, and genuinely exciting.

PINTEREST LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT




Title: Pinterest Leadership and Development
Project: Branding / Art Direction 
Role: Contract Designer
Year: 2024

The Leadership dev team reached out with the hopes of redesigning their identity. Goal was to develop a visual system that was engaging, bold, sophisticated and on brand with the Pinterest brand. From this, the concept of ‘Building Blocks’ was formed. 


CONCEPT: The ‘Building Blocks’ concept leans into the strength of Pinterest’s leaders and managers. The characteristics and values that they encompass are the building blocks of success. Each are an important brick that together forms a foundation that allows others to grow. The visuals in this concept focus on those building blocks and bring out the strength of teamwork and strong leaders.

Project: Product update campaign and video
Role: Art Direction / Designer
Year: 2022

Where can Ad’s take us? 


Whenever a valuable new product update is launched, teams would come to us with the need to get the word out there. Sure we could put together a deck but a vision video is so much more effective. Together with the help of the Onsite Ads Experience team, we developed a vision video that breaks down all the ways the monetization team made user experience so much better.
