Spotify for Artists needed its own identity distinct enough to speak to creators, but unmistakably Spotify. I helped define the visual system: typography, color, and a photography direction rooted in three moments of an artist's journey: performing, creating, and connecting with fans. Beyond the core identity, I built out templates for email, social, and marketing pipelines, and served as a bridge between marketing and product teams to ensure brand consistency from campaigns through to the redesigned Spotify for Artists digital hub.
