Approach

Build on the brand

Ant Rentals had a strong corporate brand with detailed guidelines. My job was to expand that identity across marketing materials — social media posts, website pages, and presentations.

Optimize existing website

When I joined, an existing WordPress site was already in place. I identified key areas that needed optimization to reduce confusion and improve the user journey.

Design for more

Apart from the existing web architecture, I integrated a blog section, a career page, and an online rental system to scale the business.
