Overview

I’ve spent the last ~2 years sinking my teeth into anything thrown my way at Morningstar: email campaigns, original podcast artwork, client stories, and more.

I love brand systems work, but it’s worth highlighting my ability to work quickly and thoughtfully within brand standards and project level systems.






Big Picture in Practice Podcast

 The creative for the Big Picture in Practice podcast was a defined system but required original artwork for each episode.

Visualizing complex and often abstract financial ideas using photo collage with a quick turnaround was always challenging but also always fun.

My time working on this reiterated some key points: sometimes less time is better, lean on your team, and most importantly, a good visual system is worth its weight in gold.




Where Data Speaks

Where Data Speaks is a brand level campaign that highlights Morningstar’s commitment to high-quality data.

Working with the campaign playbook I built social campaigns, blog heroes, display ads, and helped define new iterations of the campaign, like the iconography to represent 3 main concepts: convergin markets, artificial intelligence, and risk

Client Success StoriesCentral marketing uses client success stories to highlight clients’ use of the company’s products. This campaign work includes a web posting, PDF, and a suite of social media cards.
