Boardhaus is a surf, skate, and snowboard progression platform for adult riders. They had three founding member PDFs; educational documents that were part of his pre-launch offer. They worked as documents. They didn't work as Boardhaus. The colours were off, the typography had nothing to do with the brand system, and sitting next to the landing page they looked like they came from a different company. The job was to fix that across all three.

No source files existed. The PDFs were generated programmatically, so instead of opening a file and adjusting things, I was reverse-engineering layout decisions page by page and rebuilding from scratch.

The fonts in the originals were system defaults with no relation to the brand. Barlow Condensed Bold and DM Sans had to go in fresh, with spacing and sizing rethought at each scale across the layouts.

The B mark had no standalone file. It was vector, drawn in code. I rendered the cover page at 300dpi, cropped to the mark, and stripped the background in Python to get a clean transparent PNG for the redesign.

Make the PDFs read as part of the same product as boardhaus.co. Same colors, same type, same visual weight.

Apply the full brand system consistently across all three documents: Navy #22354C, Amber #F4622A, Sand #F5F0EA, correct typography hierarchy throughout.

Build in a format Boardhaus can edit themselves, without coming back to me every time something changes.

All three PDFs delivered within five days.

Typography, colour, and spacing are consistent across the series and match the landing page.

The stacked lockup — B mark above the BOARDHAUS wordmark and tagline — is on each cover.

Everything built in Canva with both brand fonts. The company has editor access to all three files and can update content independently.
