Vapen had a logo and nothing else. I built the brand, the in-house team and the campaigns that grew it, plus a sub-brand, Revibe.
The idea: a brand that sounds like the people who already buy it. I wrote the guidelines and the tagline, "Honor the Plant," and directed every shoot around real people and real product.
A premium launch for a new buyer. I took the brand upmarket in black, white and gold across in-store POS and email.

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.
