LONG ASS TABLE TALKS – LAT Talks for short – is an interview series featuring people who inspire us with different perspectives. It started out as an internal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program, but the eye-opening quality of the conversation made us realize the discussion was worth sharing.

We created a cohesive brand for LAT* Talks, starting with a logo and font pairings for title designs to be used across the series. Using the typography and colors from the existing Expensify brand, we paired Knockout and GT America across multiple designs from episode titles, credits and name titles.

Caring Makes Magic: A Holiday Tale – The holidays are magic.

The film played during the airing of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the campaign spread across both print and social applications.

Talk Stoop is a television talk show where celebrities join Nessa on a stoop for an intimate interview covering career highlights and life stories. The broadcast reaches 12 million viewers/month and is played on USA Network as well as taxi cabs across the United States.

In updating the Talk Stoop brand, we introduced a bolder, refined color palette and created a flexible system for typography which is shown in the title cards, lower thirds, ad spots and various interviewee introductions. The visual symbol of the stoop is reflected in the stacked animation style as well as the minimal iconography and typography layout.

Due to the stigma in the Asian community and fear of “losing face”, admitting to needing mental care is considered shameful to their families and consequently, to themselves. Language barriers as well as economic struggles also hinder them. Overall, there are few resources available and rarely do they take cultural factors into consideration.

Reshape the Narrative’s logo is built from the idea of reshaping Asian American views on mental health using stories from the community. The color palette was chosen to be calm and trusting. The identity utilizes a dotted grid, with elements from the logo spreading randomly across the grid, to visualize reshaping and relocation.
