Morningstar Corporate Design Office

In 2022, I began leading a newly formed design team: the Corporate Design Office. Located in Chicago, Toronto, and Mumbai, our team focuses on supporting the communication and brand needs of Morningstar’s internal corporate functions including: People & Culture, Employee Communications, Corporate Sustainability, Workspace design, Facilites and Investor Relations. Our work is diverse and includes digital sites, UI/UX, motion design, print design, and environmental graphics and branding. Below is a selection of work representing these areas.
