Branding

Problem

As the first and only brand designer at Superhuman, I established the Superhuman brand from the ground up by defining its identity, developing brand guidelines, and implementing the new brand across all channels. I engaged stakeholders to reassess our previous perspectives on Superhuman and crafted a brand that resonated with our growing target audience.

I gathered inspiration and connected each brand attribute to a visual element that authentically represents Superhuman as a brand.

Using the moodboard as a guide, I explored and created unique visual elements. These were then organized into clear brand guidelines with instructions on how to use each element effectively.

Custom Superhuman Emojis

Our customer-facing teams often used emojis to add a touch of joy to customer interactions. Integrating emojis into our brand was a natural step, aiming for an authentic Superhuman feel. I collaborated with Bonnie Kate Wolf to bring the Superhuman emoji vision to life. Through a feedback loop, we fine-tuned the emojis based on my creative direction, ensuring they genuinely embodied the essence of Superhuman.

Product visuals

Crafted as visual storytellers for our features, the product abstractions aim to maintain a clear connection with our product design. There's room for a touch of exaggeration to effectively communicate the feature's goals and enhance visual engagement. In achieving this, I employ strategic layering of white gradients and blurs, resulting in a sophisticated glass effect. Beyond aesthetics, this technique adds a level of refinement to our product visuals.

Website

Problem

Taking on the role of the first and only Brand Designer at Superhuman, I undertook the task of spearheading a new website from scratch. This encompassed designing and implementing new systems to ensure the website's consistency and efficiency, and addressing the outdated design principles and tooling that no longer resonated with Superhuman's evolving team and identity.

A peek at the old website

The old Superhuman website was hard-coded and lacked a distinct brand. It featured a diagonal line across the entire site with a disruptive high-contrast, requiring constant adjustments by engineers to ensure legibility. The product screenshots were busy and challenging to understand. Additionally, there were outdated full-bleed images with unrelated text that did not align with the product.

The process

The process comprised various phases, such as research, wireframing, establishing information hierarchy, content creation, and an exhaustive quality assurance (QA) process. Throughout each step, I collaborated closely with stakeholders from engineering, marketing, and leadership to ensure seamless alignment.

The new homepage

The Superhuman homepage showcases our brand's unique design elements, enhanced by custom animations for an engaging experience. The product visuals go beyond a direct representation, using exaggerated versions to help users understand our features better. Trustmarkers, value propositions, and feature narratives are strategically incorporated throughout the website to build trust and convey the benefits of our product.

A workflow upgrade

I advocated for transitioning from the old hard-coded Superhuman website to a CMS-based redesign, and we ultimately chose Framer. This decision enabled us to establish a design system, empower the marketing team for self-page creation, and seamlessly integrate sophisticated animations.

Toolkit user experience

The modules are set up using design guardrails. With these guardrails the user is only able to edit content and visuals. They can not edit typefaces, colors, and spacing. This means designs are consistent and brand design approved, even when pages are built by non-designers.
