Khan Academy

Khan Academy is a nonprofit providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. I worked with the brand team to redesign Khan Academy’s visual identity and raise the vibes throughout the organization. My focus was on creating distinctive and comprehensive illustration systems throughout the org that enriched the educational content for the brand. I was also the co-host of Khan Academy’s wildly popular and very important and cool WKHN news team.

Social Media Revamp

I collaborated with the social media team to redesign the artwork for our social media channels to reflect our new brand identity. I led the creative direction and visual strategy to create a more cohesive look and feel for our channels this led to a significant boost in engagement and a better brand experience for our learners.

Course Unit Icons

Prior to the brand redesign, there was no uniform system in place for course unit icons on the website. The icons were a mix of photographs, collages, and many different styles of illustrations. To rectify this, I redesigned the icons to make them consistent, align with our brand, and be easy to comprehend.

New Learner Avatars

I worked with the product team (shout out to Juan Ocampo for his illustration skills and Jeff Walls for his naming conventions) to create a special series of brand new avatars for our learners that reflected the new brand guidelines.
