Case 01 / First Avenue

Brand system · Campaign · Digital

A rebrand only matterswhen it starts moving.

I helped turn a new visual identity into a practical system, aligned internally, translated across channels and carried from screen to space.

My role

Project leadership & operational rollout

What I connected

Brand · Web · Campaign · Social · Motion · Events

Outcome

A coherent brand system embedded across teams and touchpoints

Visual identity and brand design by WE ARE INDEED. My responsibility covered project leadership, internal adoption and operational implementation.

What I bring to Circle

Not one discipline.

A connected design practice.
01

Make complexity feel simple

I translate technical products and layered requirements into visual narratives people can understand quickly.

02

Build systems, not isolated assets

I think across launches, web, campaigns, social, motion and physical spaces, so the idea stays recognizable as it scales.

03

Own the path from idea to rollout

I connect stakeholders, creatives and production partners, present decisions clearly and keep the quality intact through delivery.

02

NewTec Cloud / Product launch

A technical product, translated into one clear story.

For a cloud audio solution launched at ISE Barcelona, I aligned product, leadership, marketing and production around a message that could work across space, screen and campaign.

My role Communication concept, visual translation & production coordination

Collaboration CEO, marketing, stand construction & production partners

Touchpoints Event, website, newsletter & social

03

FUBAS 2.0 / Digital product

Data-rich by nature. Clear by design.

Team data, line-ups, live events and statistics compete for attention. The work was to create hierarchy without removing the energy of match day.

My role UX/UI contribution & product communication

Design focus Navigation, hierarchy, states & mobile readability

Outcome A faster, more coherent way to follow the game

How I work

AI in the process.Judgment in the lead.

I use AI to accelerate research, exploration and implementation. The framing, authorship, precision and final design standard remain human-led.

01

Frame

Find the real communication problem behind the brief.

02

Translate

Turn strategy and product complexity into a visual idea.

03

Systemize

Build rules that stay coherent across channels and teams.

04

Ship

Protect the concept through production, motion and rollout.

Working across contexts

DeutschItalianoEnglish

Three languages are useful. Reading the room is the advantage.

I work between cultures, disciplines and levels of technical detail, adapting the message without losing the idea.

Why Circle

One platform.Many moving parts.One unmistakable brand.

Circle is building the kind of design challenge I am drawn to: making a complex, AI-powered product feel simple, relevant and recognizable across every customer touchpoint.

Let's make it unmistakable.
