Industrial Design Studio
Design Consultant
With a relentless de-emphasis on bling and easy glamour, the Detroit-based industrial design studio SUUM invents playfully engaging rings that demand interaction. Less pomp. More romp.
I worked with SUUM in a consulting capacity, delivering a suite of creative services, and also contracted a cast of designers and animators to support larger initiatives.
As the primary driver behind the studio's burgeoning brand, I utilized various mediums to solidify our identity. My responsibilities ranged from designing motion graphics for gallery installations to overseeing print and web design. I also crafted interactive web animations that amplified the brand’s commitment to interactive jewelry.

Leveraging a comprehensive body of work and the recognition it garnered, I had the honor of presenting my work at several exhibitions hosted across diverse venues in Seattle.
