As a member of the team that developed the first global digital design hub for McDonald’s, I helped create a centralized platform that provides guidance and assets for over 120 markets. McDonald’s visual identity is celebrated in an iconic way across the brand’s leading and sub-brands, including McCafé, Happy Meal, and Premium.

The McDonald’s visual identity looks effortless,
however, it was a complex puzzle for our team
to solve. We had to consider how all assets
worked in digital and print spaces, how they
functioned at scale and distance across the
brand and sub-brands.
