At Ascent, I translate creative strategy into visual stories across social media, campaigns, email and e-commerce. Working alongside the design team, I explore and extend the brand’s visual language through photography, 3D, motion and graphic design, adapting it to new formats while maintaining a consistent premium identity. My role combines concept development with hands-on execution, creating purposeful visuals that support both the brand and its growth.

Good design should do more than look good. At Ascent, my work across email, social media and paid campaigns has contributed to measurable growth. These figures compare the starting point when I joined with the current results across the channels I manage and support.


One of the key opportunities I identified after joining Ascent was its email marketing strategy. Incorrect flow triggers meant automated emails generated no revenue, while one-off campaigns lacked a consistent structure and direction. I rebuilt the strategy and design across both flows and campaigns, turning email into a structured, revenue-generating channel, providing data analysis based iterations and monthly growth.

As part of Ascent’s creative team, I worked as the photographer during campaign shoots, collaborating closely with the art director, videographer and behind-the-scenes filmmaker to translate the creative direction into a cohesive set of brand visuals.


I also supported Ascent’s e-commerce experience through UX-focused website design, landing pages, product storytelling and campaign updates. My work focused on presenting the product clearly, strengthening the premium experience and reducing friction across the customer journey. After conducting research of competitor's websites, I redesigned Ascent's "Shop" page to be a more intuitive, user friendly page, while maintaining brand guidelines.
