Volunteer UI Design Project

The Brand Lab is one of the most innovative non-profits today. They partner with creative agencies to create  internships for high school students. 

​I volunteered my UX/UI design services - we touched up the brand colors, fonts and imagery, then upgraded the website!

SEE THE NEW DESIGN

Thanks for visiting my website :)  

Feel free send me a note if you would like to get in touch. 

Totally unrelated, but I recently built the Millennium Falcon Lego Kit. Also, my site favicon is C3P0 and R2D2 ;) 

​May the force be with you!
