Re-branding a branding studio
Bruce Mau Design is a multidisciplinary brand and design studio.
What if rebranding a design studio could create new opportunities for the team to connect, drive business growth, and engage both Toronto’s creative scene and the global community?
I joined the team as Global Communications Lead to re-envision Bruce Mau Design’s rebrand.
Role:
Led go-to-market launch strategy for BMD’s rebrand
Directed photography style and execution
Led content development across all channels (case studies, short-form video, interviews, etc.)
Brand messaging and visionining
Tools:
Figma, Miro, Mailchimp, Adobe, Google Analytics, and a lot of sticky notes.
A day in the life visiting Toronto to collaborate with my colleagues 👩🏻💻
“This became a “friends and family” process that took a light touch instead of a deep dive. We had client and collaborator interviews. We held an all-studio workshop. We had tight little working sessions that would get scheduled and rescheduled as we balanced the daily needs and future-thinking. ”
Website re-design
A major component of the rebrand involved a complete website overhaul. We collaborated closely with the team at Executive Agency to redesign every detail.

Photography Direction
I led the execution and worked with photographers to capture the team in a way that reflected the internal culture—authentic and design-centric.
