Case Studies → Sparrow’s Nest Studio Design System
The challenge: introduce an extremely niche business with a product that few people are aware of - and with the ones that are aware often having deep cultural ties. I acted as the creative director and “full stack” designer, creating a design system to appeal to target audiences and be easily used by non-creatives.
The brand would need to exist in the physical and digital form. The stakeholders planned for a multipurpose physical location, a “third place” to learn, play, and socialize. There would also be an e-commerce site to establish the brand’s presence and reach customers online. (More on that site in another case study).

Brand Style Guide
After making the brand identity, I created a guideline of how the logo system, typography, and colors worked. For ease of use by internal non-designers and external teams, the guide exists as a sharable Google Doc with plenty of examples and hyperlinks.
