Grand River Health Corporate Style Guide

Role: Creative Director & Brand Strategist
Deliverables: Brand Standards Guide, Color System, Logo Usage Guidelines, Typography Standards, Email Signature Templates, Signage Templates
Impact: Established the organization’s first formal brand identity system, creating consistency across marketing, communications, facilities, and employee-facing materials.

As part of a comprehensive brand standardization initiative, I developed the organization’s first official brand guidelines to ensure consistency across all internal and external communications. The project included codifying the corporate color palette with precise RGB, CMYK, Pantone, and HEX specifications, establishing logo usage standards, defining approved typography, and creating templates for email signatures and organizational signage. By transforming an inconsistent visual identity into a cohesive brand system, I provided employees and vendors with clear standards that strengthened brand recognition, improved communication quality, and ensured a unified professional presence across all platforms and touchpoints.
