Connect 2025
Connect is Q2’s client conference in Austin, Texas, hosting industry leaders and peers in the financial technology space.
At Connect ‘25, I led the keynote design to create the visual story for Q2’s C-suite presenters. Partnering with a cross-functional team and producers, we delivered a high-quality keynote program spanning multiple days. In addition to the stage experience, I also helped support event branding and wayfinding at the Fairmont hotel.

Connect 2023
At Connect ‘23, I developed the look and feel of this year’s brand. I created preliminary styles, patterns, and templates to assist other designers with conference collateral and wayfinding. In addition to the brand creation, I assisted Q2’s C-level leadership with their keynote design and visual story.
For a customer party at Banger’s—a German beer garden in Austin’s historic Rainey Street district—I designed the full set of branding assets, including custom illustrations for both the stage and the event t-shirt.
