Graphxify
Graphxify is the creative studio I co founded. I led the brand from strategy through launch: naming direction, visual identity, design tokens, a modular component library, and the production website. Every decision from typography to page speed was mine to make and defend, which makes it the most complete demonstration of how I work.

The Problem
A new studio entering a crowded design market has a credibility problem: every competitor claims premium quality, so claims alone are worthless. The brand and site had to prove capability on contact, a hiring manager or client should be able to judge the craft in ten seconds without reading a word. The identity also had to work as a system, not a one off: it needed to scale from a favicon to a pitch deck, and support a two person studio shipping client work fast without a dedicated brand team policing consistency.
The Solution
I built a dark, editorial identity around restraint: one accent color, one display face, and a strict token system so every page feels engineered rather than decorated. Design tokens live in code, not in a PDF brand guide, so consistency is enforced by the build itself. The site is hand coded in Next.js with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. I designed a reusable case study template so new client work can be published in hours, not days, and built scroll driven motion that respects the user's reduced motion preference. Images are treated as the hero throughout, the system exists to frame client work, not compete with it.
Results
The studio is live and winning real client work across the GTA, spanning brand identity, web design, and development engagements. The design system has held up in production: new pages and case studies ship without visual drift, and the same tokens power everything from social templates to proposals. It's the system I'd bring to a team, opinionated where it matters, boring where it should be.
