Umami Color & Finishing is an established color-grading studio in LA. Its work and reputation had outgrown its old site, and the studio was ready for one at the level of its work.

I designed and built it around the work itself: every project filterable by type and colorist, and every view with its own link, so the team can send a lead exactly what fits.

this is amazing work

Pulsix started with a question: how much of a sportswear identity can you fit on the front of a cap?

I designed the brand around an angular X with a pulse cut through its center. On a pink cap, the chartreuse X can stand alone. On a billboard, the photograph and “Future is now!” headline take the lead. In this loop, the black Pulsix logo anchors a moving grid of apparel, campaign graphics and digital layouts.

My roles: Brand Designer, Graphic Designer, Motion Designer. Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe After Effects, Figma.

Where would you try the X first: on the cap or in motion?

I'd try it on the cap first. Motion can borrow the pulse cut once the static X proves it holds up at small sizes, and the watch face already hints that it does. Did the pulse line change shape between the cap and the animated loop?
