Turbine services ltd.
Overview
The biggest design problem I faced with Turbine Services Ltd. was creating a unified yet distinctly-branded experience across their three sub-sites. I had to come up with an information architecture flexible enough to accommodate the unique needs of each business – their products, services, and communication of engineering practices.
Responsibilities

Responsive variations and distinctly-branded sub-sites
The client had a limited and fairly disjointed brand when they came to us, so part of my groundwork for visual exploration was bringing more intentionality and order to their brand assets. In tandem with that work, I learned as much as I could about the business and was able to tour their facilities and see the materials they produce. Once my responsive designs were approved, I worked closely with an outside vendor to implement my mockups into production code. Managing a remote dev team like this required a new level of organization and communication which I hadn’t been called upon to execute previously, but it was a rewarding challenge.
