• Brand Strategist

  • Jan 2014 - Aug 2019

  Kalypso is a digital product innovation services firm headquartered in Houston, Texas. As Novahurst Creative, our studio had provided design and identity services to Kalypso as a start-up. To help Kalypso grow and attract a new market, we came in-house to guide a rebrand and establish an internal design function. We launched the new brand across all channels, helping Kalypso pivot their focus as a firm from enterprise technology to digital innovation. Kalypso's unique culture and values were preserved through the rebrand and growth. Kalypso now stands toe-to-toe against big consulting firms and boutique digital service firms in the market. The in-house design team we built serves marketing, internal culture and communications, and client services. Work for Kalypso included brand experiences and storytelling for global events, change and adoption for large-scale initiatives for clients such as NBTY, Western Digital, Nike, Johnson & Johnson and 3M. I also developed the firm's design thinking perspective and led the curriculum development for design education in the firm. Show less
