FOLIO 04 — SELECTED WORK

Case studies,
not thumbnails.

A small, considered list. Each project is a strategic transformation — repositioning, rebuilding, relaunching. Choose by year, by venture, by category. The full archive is available on request.

CASE 01 — INDUSTRIAL · BRAND + WEB · 2025

PureGrit
Sandblasting.

REPOSITIONED. REBUILT. RE-LAUNCHED.

A regional sandblasting service repositioned as a category-leading industrial brand — with the visual system and digital storefront to back it up.

Challenge

PureGrit had a strong field reputation but a digital surface that read 1998. They were losing tier-one bids before the first call — clients couldn't see them as the premium operator they were on the ground.

Strategy

Reposition the brand around precision and proof — and let the website do the work of three sales calls.

Outcome

  • New identity system, photography direction, and dual-track site (industrial + commercial)
  • Inbound qualified leads up +184% in the first 90 days
  • Average project value lifted 2.4×

CASE 02 — BUILDING ENVELOPE · DTC + B2B · 2025

Cedar
Shield.

A CATEGORY, REDEFINED.

A premium protective coatings company brought into focus — architecture-grade brand language and a dual-track storefront for contractors and consumers.

Challenge

CedarShield made a superior product priced like a premium one — but their digital presence read as commodity. Two distinct buyers (homeowners + contractors) were fighting for the same homepage.

Strategy

Split the funnel. Tell the same story in two languages, with one identity behind both.

Outcome

  • Conversion rate 3.1× baseline within a quarter
  • Quote requests up +62% with higher avg. ticket
  • Asset library + operator playbook adopted by their entire field team

CASE 03 — CONSTRUCTION · RE-BRAND · 2024

True
Grit Concrete.

HARD WORK, DRESSED SHARPLY.

A masculine, restrained identity for a concrete contractor — paired with a portfolio site that builds trust at first scroll.

Challenge

TGC was winning on referrals and losing on inbound. Their digital presence didn't reflect the discipline of the work — they kept ending up in the same bracket as cheap operators.

Strategy

Build a website that reads like a portfolio book. Fewer projects, larger photography, more conviction.

Outcome

  • Average ticket 1.9× within two quarters
  • Brand search volume up +51%
  • Two repeat developer relationships sourced inbound

Tricity
Designs.

EDITORIAL LANGUAGE FOR AN INTERIOR STUDIO.

A magazine-style portfolio platform for a residential design studio across three cities. The showroom that lives online.

Challenge

Tricity's work belonged in a coffee table book. Their site looked like every other interior firm in their bracket — busy galleries, generic copy, no point of view.

Strategy

Treat the site like an editorial. Fewer images, larger. Less copy, sharper. Let the rooms breathe.

Outcome

  • Project enquiries up +220%
  • Average session 4.6× baseline
  • Two press features sourced from website browsers, not pitches
