Stonk Tech - Instagram Styling & Templates

Stonk Tech is an early-stage social media start-up building a community for financial experts and everyday investors. As they began producing more company-related content such as updates, news, and announcements, they needed a cohesive Instagram system that felt credible, modern, and scalable.

The key challenge was clear: How do we design a strong visual identity for a finance start-up while keeping the system flexible enough for internal customization?

Rather than creating one-off posts, I developed a structured Instagram styling system that balances brand consistency with usability.

The solution focused on:

• Establishing a clear visual direction aligned with fintech credibility • Designing reusable templates that can be customized in-house • Creating guidelines to ensure long-term visual consistency

This approach allows Stonk Tech to maintain a professional presence while empowering their team to independently produce content without compromising brand quality.

• Visual moodboard • 20 Instagram feed templates • 5 Instagram highlight icon templates • 5 Instagram story templates • 2 Instagram reels cover templates • Comprehensive social media guidelines

The templates were designed to be reusable and adaptable, enabling Stonk Tech to evolve its messaging while maintaining a consistent visual identity.

✨ Research, strategy development, and style direction selection

✨ Template system design

✨ Feedback and refinement

✨ Final delivery of templates and documentation

By approaching the project as a system design problem rather than a visual task, I helped Stonk Tech establish a scalable Instagram framework that supports growth, credibility, and community building in the finance space.
