Each year the sales team kick off the new fiscal year with a big event. I designed the branding and assets for this year's SKO, Elevate!

It's almost time for our next industry report! But first, I helped get the word out with survey promotion.

Over the past year we have been reviewing our web performance, and optimizing for optimal ease of use and accessibility. We made our navigation clickable to avoid accidentally mousing the wrong area, prioritized product shots over lifestyle imagery, and brought forms up to the top of the page.

I spend most of my design time supporting the marketing team, but we also advise other teams within the company. Our training team creates tons of great materials; recently we helped bring their vision to life with custom icons and a curated photo library for their training platform.

My marketing team loves to create unique experiences for both customers and prospects. Recently I designed materials for a virtual cocktail class we hosted.

Each year, Magnet Forensics leads an industry report. Last year we brought the design of the results report in-house.

Working within existing designs can create interesting challenges. My goal when updating our newsletter template was to utilize the existing HTML formate while introducing more structure with type hierarchy. A mix of images with alt tags and live text allowed us to break the former introductory paragraph into more scannable content.

Magnet User Summit 2024 recently launched with an expanded design library. I added new graphic elements, layouts, and of course more photos of everyone's favourite, Nashville!

My colleague has a large following in the DFIR community. To help broaden his reach we created branding for his training series and commissioned an illustration of him to turn into stickers!

I was able to create a unique look for this design while utilizing the grid I created for past guides. With a flexible grid I am able to let the content lead, supplementing with graphics and pull quotes where appropriate. 

Recently the Training team came to us for a refresh of their page. We designed a new header that shows off one of their seals and made custom illustrations to round out the page.

Illustrating diagrams for the Magnet Forensics website gives me a chance to connect with others on my team and learn more about how the products work. It’s exciting to reimagine the complex functions as easy to scan illustrations. 

To differentiate events that Magnet Forensics hosts, we came up with a unique name and wordmark. This helps folks quickly identify our events as they browse in our event portal and come across events on social media. 

We introduced a new illustration style at Magnet Forensics this year. I had a lot of fun coming up with graphics for this great post about Digital Forensics and Incident Response.

Last summer I had the chance to come up with a new wordmark and branding for Magnet User Summit 2023. I created a flexible system that allows me to pull in tons of colour, great photography and some fun custom graphic elements that tie everything together. https://magnetusersummit.com/

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I love to design long, complex text documents. What was once a plain Word document, can now be enjoyed with plenty of whitespace and a well laid out grid that guides you through the information.

One of my early projects at Magnet Forensics was to design custom graphics for our infamous Catch the Light game. It’s been a blast seeing it travel around to events and offices.
