Phoenix Fest needed each festival to sell tickets on its own. I redesigned all three and carried them across every touchpoint with Phoenix Fest's marketing team.
The idea: give every festival its own personality, so each one could sell tickets on its own.
Loud and illustrated, big enough for a stadium scoreboard.
I kept the original mouth and rebuilt everything around it.
Half food fest, half music fest, and the redesign leans into both.
Growth in organic social reach
Increase in festival merchandise sales

I'm a creative director who builds brands, teams and design systems. I've led everything from Vapen's in-house team to Revive's design system, built from scratch.
Different audiences, different constraints, same approach: start with the strategy, then set a direction the whole team can run with. I set the vision early, get leadership and partners behind it, then trust my team with the room to do their best work. I lead with AI built into the workflow, so the team moves faster and the brand stays consistent at scale.
