Get back on the grid

Harnessing grids and wireframes, I sketched, structured, and styled both an email newsletter and a homepage for Tre Fichi Infused Olive Oils. This design-by-wireframe approach streamlined my workflow, and elevated my layout process from zero to hero.

Back to the Basics

Every strong design begins with structure. Anchored by grid systems, visual hierarchy, and familiar patterns like F- and Z-scans, this post shows how intentional layout choices guide the eye, and enhance clarity in any visual composition.

Infusing Imagery and Illustration

Photography can freeze time and bring emotional depth, while illustration offers clarity, whimsy, or historical context. Together, they anchor visual design, transforming labels, sketches, and brochures into resonant, meaningful storytelling tools.
