Brand & Website Refresh
Visual Identity | UI/UX
CLIENT
Vicinity Energy is the largest district energy provider in the U.S., delivering sustainable, locally sourced thermal energy to commercial and institutional buildings across major cities.
BRIEF
Refresh Vicinity’s visual identity, website, and supporting marketing materials.
SOLUTION
Vicinity’s previous identity was overly minimalist and lacked flexibility for visual storytelling. I expanded the color palette, introduced modular graphic elements and patterns, and developed a consistent icon and illustration system to create a more flexible visual language.
The original website relied on repetitive layouts and a limited component set. I designed a robust suite of responsive components and a cohesive design system to support more varied, scalable content. Collaborating with the marketing team, I designed 45+ high-fidelity layouts across desktop, tablet, and mobile and partnered with developers through implementation.
OUTCOME
A more flexible visual identity and scalable responsive website system that gave Vicinity a broader toolkit for communicating consistently across digital, print, and marketing applications.
