Success Academy

Success Academy is one of the country's leading charter school networks, known for rigorous academics and record-breaking results. Strong performance alone wasn't driving enrollment growth. They needed a brand that felt as approachable as it did accomplished.

I contributed to two campaigns: Start Stronger. Go Further. Messaging that framed a child's education today as fuel for self-reliance tomorrow, rolled out across digital and out-of-home media. In its first year, it reversed a four-year enrollment decline and increased applications by 41%. The Difference Is You. A teacher recruitment campaign built around the idea that growth at Success Academy runs both ways. Qualified hires increased 123% in the first year, helping the network staff classrooms in new neighborhoods.

Start Stronger. Go Further. Contributed to the concepting phase, exploring how to bring the idea to life visually across out-of-home placements in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Also handled photo retouching, layout design, and print mechanical files for vendors.
 The Difference Is You. Contributed to visual concept development alongside the design director, collaborating with an illustrator on composition sketches and providing motion direction for the animator. Designed layouts for print materials and social placements using the final illustration assets.

Worked in close partnership with Wealthsimple’s creative team to translate their established brand into a motion-driven keynote system. Built a structured, collaborative workflow and led iterative design development to ensure consistency across the 40-minute live event. Managed and mentored junior designers while remaining hands-on, and aligned motion workflows with client standards. Led weekly script rehearsals and collaborated on set with client and production teams to deliver a seamless live stream experience.
