Who I Worked With Collaborated with a small team to help define the brand direction and create a landing experience that clearly communicates the product’s value.
Background
TinCan is a concept focused on enabling a new kind of travel experience centered around flexibility and connection. At an early stage, the goal was to create a strong visual identity and a landing page that could communicate the idea clearly and support initial market validation.

Design Process
The process focused on aligning brand, messaging, and user experience. I explored visual directions, defined core brand elements, and translated those into a structured landing page designed to communicate value quickly and clearly.
User Experience / Information Architecture
The landing experience was designed to guide users through the concept in a clear and engaging way—introducing the idea, explaining how it works, and encouraging action through a structured and intuitive flow.
Sitemap
A simplified structure was created to ensure the landing page flows logically, helping users quickly understand the product and its value.
Logo and Branding
The visual identity was designed to feel approachable and adventurous, reflecting the spirit of travel while maintaining clarity and consistency across all touchpoints.
