Activu

Entering an exciting, new phase of product and industry leadership, Activu was eager to promote a new software release on their website. We developed new, succinct, energetic messaging, and completely rebuilt the focus of the company branding to focus on Activu’s core competencies and trustworthy record of solving big problems for their clients.

Messaging was streamlined, placing customer stories at the forefront of the discussion, highlighting benefits Activu delivers through their solutions. Product messaging was overhauled to enhance readability and market differentiation in Activu’s solution compared to the industry.

weCraft branding & UI/UX

WeCraft required branding, material design, and UX/UI (after initially launching as CrafterMania).

As a community focused on makers, it’s only fitting that the business card encouraged making too! It was designed with fold lines and instructions to turn it into an earbud winder. Now, you kids may not know, but earbuds used to have long dangly cords. And this card was designed to turn into a device that helped one to manage them for a quick toss into a pocket or bag.

The weCraft website was also the product—a crafter community and daily deals site. I worked as the lead UI/UX designer/architect, collaborating and directing several developers who initially stood up a product in WordPress, then rebuilt in Ruby on Rails. As a team, over 1-2 years, we iterated many versions of the user journey, interface elements, patterns, calls-to-action, and marketing/sales funnels.

I designed the brand, created and documented the standards, and implemented it across product and integrated marketing channels.
