Discover Industry Collabs, Jobs, and Gigs. Supafast. 
For Brand & Video Pros.





When I joined Nodd, my early contributions focused on improving the website and platform through minor tweaks, enhancing the display of content, and refining how information was presented to users.

I worked closely with the founder and developer to ensure all design updates stayed consistent with the existing framework and aligned with the platform’s mission. This included adding new pages that followed the established design language.


A New Nodd

In late November and early December, we began fully redesigning the website and platform, focusing on three key features for users: a news feed to stay updated, a job board offering exclusive Nodd opportunities, and NoddPod, a podcast featuring insightful conversations with founders about their work, advice, and opportunities.


Throughout the redesign process, we prioritized keeping the interface simple and clean for users, utilizing a very minimal and cohesive color palette to enhance usability and visual appeal.



Email Banner

I created a series of email banners designed to be reused and adapted across different campaigns. Each one was built to highlight key features, promote engagement, and stay consistent with Nood’s visual identity. These banners helped establish a clearer brand voice across outbound communications.
LinkedIn Profile

To ensure brand consistency across platforms, I designed a new LinkedIn profile image and header. The goal was to reflect Nodd’s updated brand direction and tone while keeping it clean, professional, and easily recognizable at different sizes.




Instagram & LinkedIn Posts

Alongside the platform launch, I led Nodd’s social media visual direction as the sole designer, collaborating with the founder and the media strategist. We created three post types: brand collaborations, NoddPod guest features, and job opportunity updates. This helped drive rapid Instagram growth and strong LinkedIn engagement.
Slide Decks

These are selected slides from an investor deck I designed. The goal was to clearly communicate the product vision, market opportunity, and user value in a way that felt sharp, engaging, and easy to digest. The layout balances storytelling with visual clarity, making it suitable for both live presentations and standalone review.
