The Challenge

As Art Director at ALCO Designs, I led the complete website modernization—defining the visual identity from the ground up. I designed 39 custom icons, evolved the brand color system, and art directed all photography to create a cohesive digital experience that positioned ALCO as a modern industry leader.

Partnering with Blacksmith, I drove both strategic creative direction and hands-on design execution.

Brand Evolution & Strategy

My approach centered on creating a flexible, modern visual system that could grow with the company. I modernized ALCO's existing blue, introduced a strategic green to expand the palette, and developed tertiary colors mapped to product categories—creating an intuitive color-coding system that improves navigation and strengthens brand recognition.

Every design decision was made to position ALCO as innovative, accessible, and professional.
