Ethereum for financial professionals.

I led the creative direction in studies with Bitwise’s creative leads and built the prism for the New York Stock Exchange launch.

Ethereum is easy to recognize. I needed it to feel familiar without using that branding, and to stay legible as a financial product.

Creative direction

The prism

I started from Ethereum’s geometry and left its visual language behind. I modeled the prism and the glass by hand in Blender. The renders ran across the launch, including a loop for the microsite.

On the building

I designed the exterior banner and every interior asset. It had to stay legible at building scale and on screens with different proportions.

I designed the environmental assets. The NYSE team handled final production and installation.
