The back stacks the service areas in right-justified type, forming a text wedge that echoes that same diagonal.
One concept, carried all the way through.

The key decision was the diagonal divider on the front, drawn at the exact same angle as the fraction bar in the FP mark. The card's structural line and the brand's central symbol become the same stroke.

The card and the logo speak the same geometry.
We designed the business card for Fractional Powers, Mei Powers' fractional consulting firm supporting nonprofit organizations with fundraising, communications, and strategy.

The color palette pairs electric blue with ice blue: one urgent and bold, the other open and approachable. Exactly how Mei works.

That incidental geometry became the whole concept. An accent triangle at the intersection carries the brand's electric blue, giving the mark a focal point without spelling out the metaphor.

The mark is an FP monogram where the two letters share space without competing. Where they meet, a diagonal slash forms naturally, echoing a fraction bar.

The concept was hiding in the letterforms the whole time.

The back flips to a light background, setting the cardholder's name in both syllabics and English.
Trilingual. Grounded in identity. Every detail considered.

The front carries the NDC caribou mark with the organization name in three languages: Naskapi syllabics, English, and French, set against a dark navy background with a large-scale caribou silhouette behind it.

A business card that carries a language.

We designed business cards for the Naskapi Development Corporation, the economic development arm of the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach in northern Québec.

The second edition expands the original 1994 lexicon from 10,000 to 13,776 entries, drawing from legends, oral histories, and translation projects. Every Naskapi household in Kawawachikamach received a copy.
A privilege to work on.

The decorative border patterns are adapted from traditional Naskapi painted coat artwork, traced and rebuilt into an authentic repeating pattern. Volume 1 in red. Volume 2 in blue.

The background photograph, taken by Noah Swappie at the historic Fort McKenzie site on traditional Naskapi land, is positioned slightly differently on each cover so the two spines form one continuous image when the books stand together.

A language. Two volumes. Thirteen thousand, seven hundred and seventy-six words.
We designed the covers for the second edition of the Naskapi Lexicon, published by the Naskapi Development Corporation and launched in Kawawachikamach on September 10th, 2025.

Logo, apparel, agent cards, collectible cards, location biocards, a lanyard, a patch, a pin, a sticker, mission banners, and a full swag shop graphic system, all anchored by a hand-drawn raven pulled straight from Lisbon's coat of arms.
It's a lot. We wrote it all up.

The back carries the event details in gold and blue with the Ingress faction header, the New Jersey Resistance badge, a QR code, and ResistanceNJ.com.

"New Jersey Resists" in gold on blue, with a faint street map of Jersey City filling the background and the municipal badge anchoring the bottom alongside the event date.

The centerpiece of the front is the New Jersey Resists roundel, a circular badge drawn from the logo of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, a company that ran from 1849 until its 1967 bankruptcy left its Jersey City terminal standing empty.

A new city. A new Resistance. A new brand. 🔵

We designed a save-the-date card for the Jersey City XM Anomaly, taking place May 30th, 2026, commissioned by the New Jersey Resistance. It also introduces their new brand: New Jersey Resists.

When you design the identity, the merch, and the shop graphics, everything speaks the same language. That's the point.

Bundles combine items into four numbered sets. A separate donation graphic uses a bold typographic treatment layered over the raven to drive contributions to the Lisbon Resistance organizing fund.

The pattern strip shifts depending on the product category, a small detail that keeps the system flexible without breaking the consistency.
Individual listings cover the pullover hoodie, zip-up hoodie, t-shirt, lanyard, patch, pin, and biocard pack.

Each graphic is 1080x1350px with the same layout throughout: product title in the Ingress typeface upper right, the item displayed against a Resistance blue background, and a repeating vertical pattern strip along the left edge built from the LxG mark and faction badge elements.
