In my Creative Director and Designer era

#BenditoMockup

I saw my 2019 design portfolio and I realized what a long winded journey it’s been to fully embrace that design is what it is. It is the work I love to do, the one I don’t really mind being burnt out for, the one that I always fall back to, the one that leaves me fulfilled even when I feel spent.

How I got there? I was doing a port-mortem on a project that I recently completed under my design studio. The project was an experience design for my church’s annual conference in Irving Texas. Paintmilk Studio — a creative & design studio founded by yours truly led this feat and to wrap up I created a portfolio because we definitely want more experience design gigs!

So, here is our portfolio showing the work done for The Gap Conference 2024 hosted by the Gap Church.

PROJECT TYPE: EXPERIENCE DESIGN
ORGANIZATION: THE GAP CHURCH
SECTOR: RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION
KEYWORDS: CONFERENCE VISUAL IDENTITY, MERCHANDISE DESIGN, MARKETING MATERIALS, SIGNAGE DESIGN, GRAPHIC DESIGN, CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE DESIGN
KEY DESIGNER(S): GBEMI OLUGBENLE

The greatest takeaway from this commission is that the studio is in need of effective systems and processes to ensure better design workflow, execution and delivery. I also very much need a studio assistant (doing creative and admin is like two flowing rivers that don’t mix); sooo I have been working and will be doing so for the rest of the year — to audit the system we have right now and to create one that would be more efficient to take Paintmilk Studio to where we want to be (it is a wonderful place, I promise). Cheers to growth.🥂

The studio is not accepting anymore work for the rest of the year but taking commissions for 2025 already so tap in — send us an email at [studio@paintmilk.co]

thanks for reading!

till next time (when I remember I have a website),
