King's Fianchetto: The 2024 Gala Awards

Client: Colorado Companies to Watch

From 2019 to 2024, I played the role of lead designer for Colorado Companies to Watch, where I orchestrated a series of strategic moves. My responsibilities through the year included updating the website, creating impactful ads, and branding the annual Awards Gala, akin to positioning pieces on a chessboard for maximum effect. Each project was a calculated maneuver, ensuring that the visual identity and messaging resonated with the audience, much like a well-executed game plan that leads to victory.

The Basque System: From Honey to Hits

This series of screens, created for the band Free Bear, captures the boldness of a knight’s leap, using vibrant colors and dynamic animations to invite exploration.

The playful bear, inspired by Free Bear’s name and spirit, symbolizes the unexpected twists of jazz, moving freely across the design like a queen on the chessboard.
