I love working with designers who are like chameleons. They can look at any style, adapt on the spot, absorb its nuances, and then elevate it in their own way.

We’ll see more of this in tech next year. Character driven identities simply feel more human and distinct.

This is exactly what we do at Offgrid. Helping companies refine, evolve, and implement visual systems that actually scale.

Too many visual identities look amazing in the brand book but fall apart in the real world. Often because they’re too complex for in-house teams, assets take forever to recreate, or leave too much open to interpretation. When you design, think about who will use the identity

Got a few incredible companies hiring full-time designers right now. I’m curating a private list of vetted designers to connect with them, fully confidential. If you’d like to be included, DM me your portfolio + location.

I hope every designer reaches a point in their career where they can decline projects that don't align with their life or design philosophy. Creating meaningful work with people you enjoy collaborating with is truly all you need.
