Financial Design: Creativity Meets Clarity

At Ubiquity Retirement + Savings®, my designs transformed complex financial concepts into clear, compelling visuals. This section highlights a range of my work, from detailed data visualizations to captivating digital and print campaigns, each piece showcasing my commitment to accessible and engaging financial communication.

Clarifying the Financial Landscape

I developed a series of guides, each addressing different aspects of retirement planning and financial management, varying in focus from checklists for new plan sponsors to in-depth advisor resources.​

I distilled intricate financial concepts into clear, accessible content, ensuring that each guide spoke directly to its intended audience with clarity and precision.

My approach involved creating layouts and visual aids that not only enhanced readability but also actively engaged users, making dense information approachable and understandable.

Recognizing the diverse needs of our users, I meticulously tailored each design to resonate with specific groups, whether they were newcomers to retirement planning or seasoned advisors.

Throughout these projects, I upheld Ubiquity’s brand identity, skillfully balancing unique content demands with consistent design elements.

Beyond functionality, I focused on the aesthetic aspect, infusing each guide with visually appealing elements that transformed them from mere informational resources into captivating educational tools.

Collaborating closely with subject matter experts, I ensured that every piece of information was accurate and effectively conveyed, bridging the gap between expert knowledge and user comprehension.

My role was integral in elevating our digital footprint. I focused on enhancing various facets of our web presence, ensuring not just visual appeal, but also an intuitive and user-friendly experience.

I designed and refined interface tools, prioritizing ease of use and clarity, particularly in simplifying the purchase process for our users.

In collaboration with our team, I crafted compelling landing pages that were not only consistent with our brand identity but also effectively guided users towards specific actions.

My responsibilities extended to designing newsletters, which involved front-end development skills and adeptness in CSS. This work required a blend of graphic design and technical proficiency.

I developed a wide array of web graphics, each meticulously aligned with our brand’s aesthetic while contributing to an enhanced visual appeal of our website.

Collaborative brainstorming sessions with the marketing team were a cornerstone of my approach, allowing us to merge innovative strategies with creative design solutions.

My portfolio includes a range of marketing materials, both digital and print, each striking a balance between aesthetic allure and informative content.

I utilized analytics as a guiding tool, enabling us to refine and enhance our marketing strategies based on empirical data.

Co-branding: Harmonizing Diverse Brand Identities

In my tenure at Ubiquity, a significant facet of my role involved crafting co-branded materials in partnership with other companies. This task was about finding the perfect balance between the branding elements and style guidelines of both Ubiquity and our partners, creating designs that were harmonious and representative of both entities.

Each project began with an in-depth analysis of our partners’ brand guidelines, allowing me to grasp their visual identity and core brand essence.

I worked closely with stakeholders from both sides, ensuring that every design decision was in alignment with the collective values and vision.

The challenge was to synthesize diverse elements into a single, cohesive design. My focus was on crafting visuals that echoed the ethos of both brands while maintaining a distinct identity.

Feedback was crucial. I continuously refined the designs based on input from both partners, striving to ensure each piece authentically represented our co-branding efforts.
