A comprehensive design system update including iconography, photo direction, and color.
As the team grew from 3 to 20, it became pertinent that we tighten up our brand guidelines. From iconography to color, the primary goal was to define a direction that allowed the team to maintain a consistent and unifying aesthetic. The result is an organized, optimistic brand with guidelines the team could follow.
