I’ve led brand and visual directions at MIXT since mid-2023, shortly after the salad chain rebranded. The original salad makers have a long history as a timeless go-to for lunch in San Francisco’s Financial District, but as the brand matured, its positioning has evolved from fresh + functional meal fixes to sustainability-forward, chef-driven food with people-centric service. Thus, I’ve played a leading role in all key brand touchpoints and experiences.

MIXT - Cozy Season
2024-2025

BRAND IDENTITY PRINT & EDITORIAL DIGITAL ART & IMAGE-MAKING

Every year in the last week of October, MIXT has the unique opportunity to reintroduce themselves with a Fall and Winter campaign that spotlights seasonal occasions and new menu items, for which we develop unique looks that stay rooted to the core brand. I set guardrails for how to use new palettes, display fonts, and other graphic extensions intentionally to create visual excitement and promote new menu offerings across channels while collaboratively crafting strategic marketing initiatives that drive trial, sales, and acquisition.

At the end of Cozy season, we do it again and design a new system of aesthetics for Spring and Summer. Old seasonal offerings come off the menu and new ones take their place, and the same goes for the visuals that promote them. Designing with the seasons allows MIXT to message with trends while enabling gradual evolutions and situations for the brand beyond our core offerings.

The full package for a plant-based fish company ushering in the Catch of Tomorrow. Inheriting a fresh set of guidelines upon my arrival, I worked with a marketing team of three to fine-tune our library of elements and develop a messaging strategy as whimsical and adventurous as the visuals. The result was an omni-channel go-to-market that welcomes everyone from veteran vegans and fluid flexitarians to join a movement towards preserving and protecting our oceans without compromising our taste buds or health.

Email campaigns for an upgraded, plant-based instant ramen brand. Immi’s bold identity infuses the visuals of traditional Asian cuisine brands with a contemporary zaniness, helping ramen lovers to elevate their diets with a plant-based alternative and push their creativity in the kitchen without compromising on taste or prep time. Synthesizing their striking type combinations, yellow and black duet, and high-contrast imagery, I developed a myriad of email and SMS-creative layouts to help immi expand the library of visual motifs that match the quirky and lighthearted brand voice.

Foundational brand guidelines, messaging samples, and prototypes to elevate the fastest-growing ice bath brand in America. With only a logo to preserve throughout the brand expansion process, the creative team at electrIQ marketing chose visual themes of discipline, fluid movement, and cold immersion to complement a knowledgable and enthusiastic brand voice, welcoming new audiences to the cold-plunging community. Once aligned on the nitty-gritties of the ID, we carried out blog posts, infographics, email creatives, and web solutions for PLUNGE to expand their lifecycle marketing efforts.
