Context

Enactus is a global organization that empowers students to use entrepreneurial action to advance the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).


The existing brand identity was functional but failed to convey the organization's new sense of innovation, excellence, and shared ambition. The leadership’s goal was to visually represent two years of unprecedented momentum and success, ultimately positioning the organization to cement its legacy.


My Role

As one of the Directors of Design for its 33rd iteration, I led the development of a refreshed brand identity, transforming a story of excellence into a tangible visual direction. I collaborated closely with two fellow Directors of Design, as well as the Marketing, Operations, and President teams, to create a comprehensive set of brand guidelines. These guidelines drove record engagement on our social media accounts and visually unified our logistical documentation, effectively aligning and communicating this year’s goals.


Following this success, we translated the new visual direction into our current web presence. This was achieved over a 4-week sprint to develop a scalable UI design system, including component library and style guides. Following iterative collaboration with key stakeholders, we refined high-fidelity mockups to ensure seamless developer handoff by providing a complete, documented file with all necessary specifications.

This year, we want to cement Enactus SFU’s legacy. With the amount of momentum that we’ve been gaining in the past 2 years, this year is the year to win. If not now, when? This year is special because it’s a culmination of all the efforts of everyone.” 

-Cameron Miranda, President of Enactus SFU (2025-2026)

The Brand Narrative: Starting a Legacy

This strategic narrative served as the foundation for all visual decisions.


This year is more than a continuation — it’s a transformation. At Enactus SFU, we’re stepping into a new chapter fuelled by innovation, passion, and excellence. The momentum we’ve built isn’t just about climbing rankings—it’s about building something that lasts. It’s not about chasing a legacy. It’s about starting one.


Website UI Design System + Handoff

Translating the new visual identity into a scalable web experience and establishing a foundational UI design system for efficient development.

Process

Over a 4-week sprint, we redesigned the Enactus website.

This involved:

  1. Building a Scalable Design System: Created a robust component library and style guide to ensure visual consistency and accelerate future development.

  2. High-Fidelity Prototyping: Developed mid-fidelity black & white wireframes, refined them into high-fidelity mockups, and documented all specifications.

  3. Seamless Developer Handoff: Collaborated closely with Product Managers, Presidents, and other stakeholders to gain consensus before delivering a complete, documented set of assets to the development team.
