Beyond Clothing

Creative & Art Direction // Media Production & Direction // Graphic Design // Strategy // Branding

Beyond Clothing is a small company based in Seattle, WA that specializes in expedition layering systems that can safely put people in environments around the globe from -70F to 106F in 5 layers or less. My role as Creative & Brand Lead was to lead & manage all creative and brand-related projects in every type of media, which involved designing and photographing myself as well as creative and art directing a team of creatives.

Brand Refinement

Brand Guide & Standards

When I started at Beyond, their only brand guidelines were logo usage and typefaces. I analyzed past creative, then I combined trends that I saw with the new creative strategy that I developed to create a holistic brand guide with the Director of Marketing.

Education

Historically Beyond had struggled to be concise yet clear with their messaging, as a part of defining the brand guide and strategy I crafted copy from existing internal educational materials into marketing materials and messaging, value propositions, and even taglines.

Visual Media

Photography & Video

I lead the creation of authentic visual media for Beyond by working with an in-house videographer & contractors across the globe. My role was to create media that highlighted not only the clothes, but the feelings & experiences that one can have when wearing them.

Graphic Design

Redefining the visual communication

From social media & newsletters, to enamel pins, and even to POP displays, I lead projects of all visual types. Beyond caters to two major groups, the outdoor community and the military community, and it was my task to find a way to navigate that border to include it all and not alienate anyone.
