HERO: HUMAN ENGINEERED RESILIENCE OPTIMIZATION

Brand & Product Design for U.S. Air Force Human Performance Program

This project combined strategic branding with intuitive design to support a bold vision: improving mission readiness through human performance.

I created the full brand identity for HERO, a transformative U.S. Air Force program focused on enhancing operational performance and holistic well-being. From naming and positioning to visual identity and in-app UX/UI, I developed a brand system that communicates both the mission-critical nature of the program and its human-centered purpose.

The in-product app experience was grounded in discovery workshops, UX research, user personas, and high-fidelity mocks—ensuring alignment with the unique needs of Airmen and decision-makers at every level of the force.

TODDS GOT A PEn

brand SYSTEM + ILLUSTRATIONS for small editorial client

Stop Rambling was a brand system and illustration package created for a small editorial business with a bold, expressive voice.

Tasked with developing a brand and logo as strong and direct as the founder’s personality and writing style, the collaboration was highly iterative—exploring both literal and metaphorical concepts to land on a tone-aligned visual identity.

The final system included a custom logo, color palette, and typography, designed in Illustrator. Original hand-drawn illustrations were digitized and integrated into the brand. In partnership with the developer, the system was brought to life through thoughtful UX/UI flow and cohesive, story-driven application across the site.
