As the flagship event for the crypto and Web3 industry, Consensus brings together developers, founders, investors, policymakers, and creatives from around the world. I led the creative direction and design execution across digital, print, and on-site experiences—delivering cohesive visual systems that amplified the energy, scale, and innovation of the event. From branded assets and environmental graphics to social content and merch, the design work reflected the evolving narrative of the decentralized future.

Serving as the digital front door to the industry’s largest crypto event, the Consensus website needed to balance utility with brand expression. I designed a modular, content-forward system that could adapt to changing needs—highlighting speakers, schedules, sponsors, and real-time updates while maintaining a cohesive and immersive visual identity. The design emphasized clarity, responsiveness, and hierarchy, ensuring a seamless experience across devices and touchpoints. As a high-traffic destination, the site played a critical role in driving registrations, showcasing credibility, and communicating the scale of the event.

To build momentum leading up to the event, I designed a suite of marketing assets across email, social media, and digital ad campaigns—each aligned with the Consensus brand system while tailored for platform-specific performance. From early registration pushes to last-minute speaker announcements, I helped translate the event’s evolving narrative into dynamic, eye-catching visuals that drove engagement and conversions. These campaigns played a key role in building awareness, sustaining interest, and establishing Consensus as the must-attend event in Web3.

The Consensus Prospectus is a key sales enablement tool designed to showcase sponsorship opportunities and drive event revenue. I led the design of this dynamic, information-dense document with a focus on clarity, flexibility, and brand alignment. Built to reflect the evolving Consensus visual identity, the layout system balanced detailed offerings with visual cohesion—ensuring it was both compelling for external partners and easy for internal teams to update as inventory shifted. This living document was critical in supporting the sales team’s success and reinforcing the premium value of the event.

On-site at Consensus, design played a key role in shaping the attendee experience—from wayfinding and stage design to signage, merch, and environmental branding. I contributed to the development and execution of cohesive visual systems that guided, informed, and inspired attendees across the sprawling multi-venue footprint. Every touchpoint was an opportunity to bring the brand to life at scale, ensuring consistency while enhancing the energy and immersion of the live experience.
