Identity Redesign
One of my first responsibilities working with New American Funding was to breathe some new life into a tired brand. This dynamic industry-leading company fell victim to a stale creative team that lacked the proper leadership during the company’s previous failed rebrand attempts. My process involved meticulous market research, understanding consumer sentiments, and identifying what aspects of the brand need a makeover. From a revamped logo to a refined brand message, every element had to reflect NAF’s evolution while staying true to its core values. My goal was to breathe new life into a tired brand, and reinvigorated its presence in the market and reigniting interest among consumers.

Website Development
The initial redesign of the New American Funding website was to be an interim solution until the company finished building its own CMS platform. While the reskin helped to formally introduce the brand’s new aesthetics and corporate narrative to the marketplace, it also elevated the New American Funding while gaining substantial market share. A new website design focused on better user experience, flow, form, and function will be released in January 2025.

Video Production
The video above is a 30-second spot I wrote, produced, and edited to help celebrate New American Funding’s 20th Anniversary. During my time with NAF I directed a finely-tuned video production department in the development of dozens of internal facing and broadcast spots.
Product Design
Working cross functionally with NAF’s talented team of Product Managers, Stakeholders, and best-in-class team of UI/UX Designers I was an integral part of the development of several unique products to assist real estate agents in seamlessly guiding their clients through their home buying process.

Collateral Design
Collateral design for the NAF rebrand served as the visual ambassador of its refreshed identity. Each piece, whether it’s business cards, brochures, or signage, became a tangible representation of the brand’s new narrative and sustainable future. I directed a team of talented graphic designers is the development of a new cohesive visual strategy, to bolster brand recognition and fosters a sense of trust and connection with consumers, marking a significant milestone in the NAF’s rebranding journey.
