Hi, I'm Kyle.


I build brand systems and motion around the belief that people engage with what moves them, not just what informs them. Whether getting readers to sit with a complex human rights issue or making 40,000 fans feel a moment together, I use bold animation, illustration, and typography to create work that helps audiences connect with the message and remember it.

Let’s shape your next idea.

HARVARD CARR-RYAN CENTER

Brand Design

Brand Design
Asset Creation
Visual Direction 



Human rights research is important, but it's not always easy to sit with. As creative lead for Harvard's Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights, I led a full rebrand that moved the Center from research-first messaging toward storytelling grounded in the people living through these crises. The visual identity evokes distress and action: photos of protest and civil action, torn archival materials, and bold red-and-black blocking, carried across publications, social, video, podcasts, and campaigns.

The shift showed up in the audience, with social followings growing by more than 7,000 and the weekly newsletter passing 10,000 subscribers.

FREEDOM UNFINISHED

ACLU of Massachusetts


Brand Design
Animation 
Social Media Content Creation


As the lead visual designer for Gusto's podcast team, I created the visual identity and promotional campaign for the ACLU of Massachusetts' Freedom Unfinished podcast series.

From the moment I heard the title, I was drawn to the idea of incompleteness, the ongoing nature of the struggle for freedom in the United States. Abstract shapes and intentional disruptions brought that concept to life, breaking up ACLU-branded imagery to evoke something still in progress. The identity carried through cover art, episode social content, and animated audiograms.

UCONN ATHLETICS

2019-20 Season

 Brand Design
Creative Strategy
Social Media Management

Game day moves fast, and this brand had to move with it. For UConn Athletics' Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 seasons, I shaped the creative direction across seven Division I programs, including men's and women's basketball. The look ran on ripped poster edges, spray-paint hits, and hand-drawn marker callouts as kinetic as the game itself.

On jumbotrons and LED boards, that visual language came alive–  building anticipation and pulling crowds of up to 40,000 into the same moment.

Outside the arena, score updates, postgame recaps, and athlete milestones kept the momentum going across social and advertising content reached over 500,000 fans.

NEVY’S IN WONDERLAND

2022 Nevy Awards
Emmy Award Winning 
Brand Design
Animation 
Asset Creation 



Awards show attendees deserve more than a stage and a slide deck. For the NEVYs, Boston's yearly celebration of the venture ecosystem hosted by the New England Venture Capital Association, my team and I built the night into a full Alice in Wonderland world that made a room of 30 investors and founders feel like they'd wandered into the story themselves.

Nominee categories became storybook signposts, sponsor logos turned into forest placards, and a grinning Cheshire cat tied it all together. My work covered the nominee, winner, and transition graphics, along with the pre-event marketing that set the theme before the night began.

I won a local Emmy for Graphic Arts and Motion Graphics as part of the creative team.
