Website + Mood Board
The Ask
I led the UX/UI design for the redesign of Carmodylaw.com, an 80+ page, content-rich website providing detailed information about the firm. In addition, I developed a mood board to guide the site's updated visual direction.
The mood board established the style for typography, photography, and the color palette. The client felt the previous Carmody site was too bold, with excessive orange from the logo, and didn’t reflect the firm accurately. They hired Rebel to create a more sophisticated, polished design, both visually and technically.
Given the site's size and complexity, careful planning was essential. I created high-fidelity wireframes to streamline the UI design process and annotated designs with a style sheet for developers. After development, I played a key role in the QA process through to launch. This project was a significant effort, taking six months to finalize, build, QA, and launch.

The result of this project was a more refined and sophisticated website that accurately represented the firm’s brand and professionalism.

The high-fidelity wireframes and detailed style sheet streamlined the design-to-development handoff, making the process efficient despite the site’s complexity. After six months of development, QA, and refinement, the new Carmody site successfully launched, providing a visually engaging, user-friendly experience that aligned with the firm's vision and improved its online presence.

Brand Guide + Brochure
The Ask
The Brand Guide details the work done on the mood board and website, ensuring consistency in the firm’s identity. A new brochure was also created to provide key information about the firm, designed for prospective clients.
Process
I designed the Brand Guide and brochure in a square format to reflect the logomark, creating a cohesive visual identity. Having established a strong foundation with the mood board, the designs were both exciting and efficient to execute. The Brand Guide included typography, color palettes, logo usage, and imagery guidelines, ensuring consistency across all materials.

Both materials helped establish a strong, unified presence that reflected the firm's values and expertise.
