I have been lucky enough to work on many projects for Banyan, and in 2023, Tayve Neese and Fati D. asked if I could rework the way that accepted pieces are shown on their site. Instead of displaying them as a series of links, cluttering their website with endless pages, they wanted an online magazine layout.
We came up with something sleek, classic, and professional. I emphasized Banyan‘s signature teal color in accents on the cover and in the interior. We chose a more traditional layout to showcase Banyan‘s elegance and timelessness.
When asked “What made you happiest about working with me?”:
Your genuine desire for excellence.
