Johnson & Johnson Environmental Brand Experience

Johnson & Johnson required a scalable approach to expressing its corporate identity across a complex global organization spanning Consumer Health, Pharmaceuticals, and MedTech. As a design lead, I collaborated with business partners to understand their goals and objectives, develop design strategies with them, and lead projects across the enterprise while managing a team of designers. I translated business priorities, brand strategy, and J&J’s Credo into environmental branding, spatial storytelling, digital content, signage, and custom design solutions, then evolved successful site-specific work into global standards and guidelines. The resulting system enabled teams across a 1,200-site enterprise to create cohesive brand experiences while responding to the needs of individual brands and local environments.
