Design and Branding
From being visually-minded and having started my own company multiple times, I have learned how to use marketing and branding techniques to convey a message and to build a desirable brand.

Logo Design
Description:I created this logo for, Hypercosm (http://www.hypercosm.com), my simulation company. We originally hired an established (and expensive) design firm but I wasn't satisfied with the results so I developed my own, which was chosen over the alternatives by the company. The "wormhole" iconography used in the logo was used in various 2D and 3D forms throughout the company branding.
