Chestnut.io is a web based application for startup founders to track and log interactions with venture capital investors. An investor's profile combines user generated "tid-bits" or notes, and information generated from the Angel List and Product Hunt API's. This gives users a way to pin point investors based on location, interests, and past funding.
I was the sole designer on the MVP, with the support of a backend development team. The design needed to be accessible to business oriented users, while maintaining design aesthetics. The approach was to create a simple yet elegant way to categorize lots of information. I took a modular approach to the application's construction in order to allow growth over time.
Chestnut is in beta as of March 2015.

Friedman Benda, a fine art and design gallery in Chelsea, asked me to design their wordmark and collateral for their new space, Albertz Benda.
Staying within the branding style of Friedman Benda meant clean, simple, and elegant design. After many explorations into type, we received permission to use the typeface "Cooper Hewitt" specifically designed for the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum.
Their marketing collateral was also delivered; including business cards, letterhead, and print advertisements.

Within American Express OPEN there are 7 groups of employees receiving training year round. With a high on-boarding rate in 2013-2014, Epic Decade was asked to map the current learning system and redesign in order to create innovative and well rounded employees through a remarkable and personalized learning experience.
I examined their current training programs, with the Field Effectiveness group, and organized by time and module based on the last two years of on-boarding and continuing education. I sorted the data by various modes, in spreadsheets, and then translated into infographics for workshopping sessions.
