PHASE PROJECT
CONCEPT
The Phase Project was already a deeply trenched ecosystem when I was tasked with the redesign. The timeline was ambitous, and I worked quickly to establish a project brief and budget.
After approvals, work moved quickly and steadily over 10 months to fully redesign the suite of 18 guides, followed by additional merch and digital applications.
I spear-headed the project, directing the process from drafting initial project memos to managing all contributors to designing each spread across all 18 files to packaging final files.

PERSONAL
Hi there, I’m Elizabeth 👋🏼
Lately into national parks (mostly Joshua Tree and Banff), exiting the algorithm and rebuilding my cd collection, finishing all the art projects I’ve started, and restarting all the books I still haven’t finished. Reconfiguring over-thinking into critical thinking. Would rather be meandering through the woods or drawing flowers right now. Always reforming (designing).

ANECDOTES
Once upon a time, Sylvester Stallone had to review and approve an email I designed. (Allegedly.)
Best work find in the wild was spotting Musee bath products (the first brand I worked on at Metaleap) while walking through LaGuardia.
Within the context of design, I’ve been called either a wizard, a unicorn, or a witch on muiltiple occasions by multiple people and I always recieve it as the highest of compliments.
To date, the most iconic feedback I’ve received was when a client responded only with “Is this a joke?” about a site I helped design. It absolutely wasn’t then, but it definitely is laughable now.
