Smartsheet Brand

Global Video and Creative Production Lead

The Smartsheet brand works as a living system. Logo, color, type, illustration, and photography are separate components, but each inherits the same core principles, so work made by different hands in different markets still reads as one brand. The system carries real constraints: type is checked for contrast, color is governed centrally so one change propagates everywhere, and the logomark behaves differently in the app than in marketing. That shared source of truth is the point. It lets contributors move fast without drifting off-brand.

The Brand System

The bento concept is personal to me. A bento is a Japanese meal built in compartments, where rice, fish, and vegetables each hold their own space yet balance into one plate. Nothing is crowded, nothing is lost, and the care shows in the arrangement. Our grid follows the same logic: every element sits in a defined compartment, distinct but in proportion, composing a layout that reads as a whole.

OOH

London, Tokyo, or Chicago, the work adapts to its market while the system underneath stays constant. Same compartment logic, same sense of proportion. Different teams, different audiences, unmistakably Smartsheet.

Note

The brand continues to evolve. The Smartsheet app and its bento-inspired language remain the foundation.

Brand Video Studio

I wanted to scale our live video productions, so I pitched an in-house studio that could scale production and make being on set feel like a brand experience.

With a $60k budget, I designed a broadcast-quality space with programmable lighting, integrated audio, minimal visible cabling, and a quick-change set system.

Ten months later: 30+ productions without a single rental, a 650% year-over-year lift in output, and 300% ROI in cost avoidance.
