The Problem 

​

As a designer building my professional presence, I needed a personal brand that clearly communicates how I think, what I value, and the type of work I create. Creating my identity was the first step in building my portfolio. I needed to create a design system that could support my current work while aligning with my personality and creative style. This presented the challenge of figuring out how I wanted to present myself professionally without losing my personality. 

The Process

​

 1. Strategy First 

I began with ideation and quick sketches to get an idea of imagery that matched the type of brand that I wanted to create. 

  • Key brand traits: 

  • Intentional

  • Iconography 

  • Clean and colorful 

  • Combine elegance with fun 

​

This foundation guided every design decision. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Research & Exploration 

After sketching out my initial ideas and thoughts, 
I analyzed personal brands within my field to understand 
common visual trends and opportunities for differentiation. I searched for inspiration exploring: 

  • Symbolic Iconography 

  • Typography styles 

  • Color psychology 

  • Layout systems 

​

From there, I continue to sketch and develop multiple logo concepts before refining the strongest direction.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. System Development 

Once the primary mark was selected, I expanded it into a complete identity system including: 

  • Logo variations  

  • Typography  

  • Defined color palette 

 

The goal was versatility and consistency across platforms.

 

4. Visual Language 

The identity emphasizes: 

  • Clean spacing 

  • Structured layouts 

  • Use of iconography and patterns 

 

I knew I wanted to include celestial imagery in my brand as it has a special meaning and connection to me. The goal was to create an identifiable style that represented me while still allowing my work to shine in my portfolio.
