I was brought on by a creative agency as a strategic partner to help develop the branding and overall visual story for Overland AI during a critical stage of the company’s growth. The agency needed senior-level creative leadership with experience in defense, autonomy, and mission-driven technology to translate highly technical capabilities into a clear, credible, and compelling brand narrative. My role focused on defining the visual language, tone, and storytelling framework that could scale across digital, product, and marketing touchpoints—ensuring the brand communicated trust, capability, and real-world readiness. Working closely with the agency and stakeholders, I helped align the visual identity with Overland AI’s mission, operational use cases, and defense audience expectations, creating a cohesive foundation for long-term brand execution.
