— DATE

2025–2026

Following the acquisition of Beekeeper by LumApps, I was promoted to Head of Design and tasked with leading the evolution of a global brand. Alongside a complete website relaunch and brand refresh, I helped establish the systems, processes, and creative standards required to support teams across North America and Europe.

Leading Through Change

The acquisition created an opportunity to evolve the LumApps brand while bringing together teams, workflows, and creative standards from two organizations. Maintaining brand recognition while modernizing the experience required careful alignment across leadership, stakeholders, agencies, and designers.


As part of the refresh, I led creative direction across a wide range of brand touchpoints, including website experiences, marketing collateral, event assets, and brand storytelling initiatives. This included partnering with external agencies to develop launch materials and brand videos, providing visual direction, feedback, and stakeholder alignment to ensure consistency across markets and channels.
