Project Description

RDC-S111 is a collective of design studios, including RDC, Studio One Eleven, DyeLot, and PDO, specializing in creating tailored, user-focused solutions for a diverse range of clients. At RDC, I led the comprehensive refresh of its brand identity, modernizing its visual language while preserving trust and recognition. This included developing scalable design systems and producing versatile assets for digital platforms, immersive presentations, and client-facing deliverables.

The refresh drove a 25% increase in conversion rate and attracted partnerships with high-profile global clients such as Gucci, Nike, Tesla, Rivian, Erewhon, Equinox, Whole Foods, and other industry leaders.
