The Designer of Grön's Brand

It was an honor to serve as the leader of Grön's brand —first as Creative Director for four years and then as Senior Vice President of Brand for the last two. Being granted total creative control over an emerging brand’s aesthetic and strategy was an opportunity I will forever be grateful for.

Below are links to a rich and full portfolio of the world's best cannabis edibles brand.

A Personal Challenge

In the month of May 2022, I got the chance to work on what is arguably the most iconic brand in the world. Cheers.

Nike.com

Of all the projects I worked on during my time with Nike, designing the weekly homepage updates for nike.com has been the highest-profile – as nike.com typically receives 100 - 140 million visits per month.

The highlight would have to be the Olympic Games Rio 2016, with content changing nearly every day and lots of single product promotions. The sheer scale of the campaign (which had been underway for years without me) and the number of people working to ensure a positive implementation changed my views on what branding was.

THE BOARD GAME

Over the last 5 years, I've been designing, developing, and playtesting a 4X-light battle royal board game: The Battle of Fleets & Fortunes. The prototype is in a final state (with hundreds of successful playtests) and is currently in the early stages of final production.

ORIGIN OF A DESIGNER

In 1999, I, Majin Mebs, founded Majin Planet: a Dragon Ball Z fansite. At the age of 16, I was unknowingly taking my first step into the design world, and about to start a domino effect of design firsts that would forever change the rest of my life.

SCREENPLAYS & TREATMENTS

These works - finished and unfinished, are depictions and representations of concepts and ideas I've been battling my entire life. Some manifest in stinging romantic comedies, others in fantasy/horror, and some in DrangonballZ-inspired superhero mania.
