Rebrand Design Templates
2024-2026
At the start of 2025, the design team began work on the Whalar Agency rebrand. Under the guidance of the VP of Branding, I translated the original branding blueprint into Figma and Google Slides templates. These templates helped streamline the design process and clarified layout standards for strategists. While they went through several iterations, they've been widely used and adapted across various client decks.
Slides have been condensed for length with images & copy subsituted for client confidentiality.

New Template Used On A Makeup Brand Pitch Deck
Design template was utilized for a pitch deck for a beauty subscription service. The colors and photo choices aligned with the brand, but the layouts and typography was strictly Whalar.
New Template Used On A Non-Brand Pitch

The Whalar template was utilized for the layout and typography, but the strong imagery, collages, and textures were used to bring Cool Britannia to life.
Whalar Logo Experimentation
As part of it’s rebrand, the Whalar website needed some fun logo designs that pushed the current design of it’s logo. I illustrated the logo in various styles to create a stop motion gif that was then chosen to be part of one of three gifs in the opening scene of the website. The rest of the three designs I presented were also used for posters, stickers, and merch designs.
