Brand Identity
2015 – 2021
A brand identity was developed for a fresh and bold look to differentiate ABI from more traditional CRE firms. This included geometric typography, a bright palette with a listing status UI/UX color-coded system, and color block + grid spacing standard used across all platforms and design assets (website, email, social media, print, etc.)

Website Redesign
2016 – 2017
The ABI website was redesigned and migrated away from WordPress onto a proprietary, database-driven CMS developed by ABI's CTO. Working with him and another front-end developer, I was responsible for the branding, design, UI/UX, functionality / feature requests, and beta-testing the site prior to launch.
