PSI brand system: the 2026 brand guidelines, program brand covers, the Canva brand kit, the color palette and social posts from country teams

I direct creative work, and I build the machinery that lets it survive forty countries and thirty teams without thinning out.

That means both halves of the job. I set visual direction across brand, campaigns, and digital, present the thinking to executive leadership, and defend the why. Then I build the templates, workflows, and training that let designers and non-designers across Latin America, Africa, and Europe apply it without breaking it. I stay hands-on: I still design the work that matters most.

Beyond the screen: a certified diver drawn to coral restoration, another system that only works when you understand how the parts connect.

How I work

01

Find the real problem

I start by asking what's actually broken, and for whom. Often it isn't the design. PSI's homepage looked like a layout problem, but the real issue was a carousel nobody controlled.

02

Build it once, so others can keep going

I design the core pieces teams need to make new work without starting over: brand kits, templates, page sections. The School Survey site went to the client team with everything they need to build new pages themselves.

03

Keep it strong as it grows

I train the people who use the system and stay involved as it changes: reviewing what's new, fixing what drifts, deciding what evolves. At PSI, I've done that for 6+ years across 40+ countries.
