Academic Work

Trained skill. Applied pressure. Real execution.

Coursework is not filler here. It is evidence: concept under constraint, software under control, and finished work that proves the thinking behind the design.

Merritt Tree Logo Evolution

A focused identity-development sequence showing how the Merritt Group tree mark evolved from loose concept to stronger professional brand direction.

Merritt Tree — refined professional direction A cleaner and more credible version with stronger symmetry, better spacing, and a calmer executive tone. Style used: Minimal professional brand identity with restrained corporate polish.
Merritt Tree — high-energy variation A more dramatic version using brighter leaf color and stronger contrast to test whether the mark could carry more visual energy. Style used: High-contrast identity exploration with saturated accent color.
