Overview

Over 18 months, I worked as an embedded freelance design partner across VERO’s brand, content and marketing output. My work included event activation guidelines, video ads, social graphics, video editing, zine layouts, SXSW assets and the 2023 highlights video — supporting the team with consistent, flexible creative across fast-moving channels.

The challenge

What the work had to solve

Embedded support means working inside an existing brand system at pace, across many channels at once. The work needed to stay on-brand and coherent while flexing from a highlights edit to a zine spread to an event activation guide — often in parallel and to tight turnarounds.

The solution

What Maria designed

I acted as a dependable extension of the in-house team, holding brand consistency while producing flexible creative across video, social, events and print. From SXSW cassette invites to zine layouts and the 2023 highlights video, the work kept VERO’s voice recognisable while adapting to each channel’s format and audience.
