I turn taste
into brands
that ship.

Brand Designer & Art Director

San Francisco  ·  Open to full-time & contract

I build brands end-to-end, from strategy and identity to art direction, for retail, healthcare, and nonprofit clients across the US and Taiwan. 300+ products shipped; the systems I design still run without me. My AI-augmented workflow compresses weeks of exploration into days, with the craft intact.

Designer.
Strategist.
System builder.

I'm Catherine Sun, a brand designer with 9+ years building identity systems for retail, healthcare, and nonprofit organizations across the US and Taiwan.

My work lives at the intersection of visual craft and strategic thinking. I don't just design logos. I build the visual language that allows brands to communicate consistently at scale, across channels and contexts.

Currently exploring AI-augmented design workflows and how emerging tools can accelerate brand discovery without replacing the judgment that makes design meaningful.
