Calendly Event Booth
Calendly.com Event Experience
Calendly is a very prominent brand in the technology industry. As the Creative Director for Calendly, it was my responsibility to ensure the event booth design and overall user experience was exceptional, leaving a lasting impression on users while strictly adhering to Calendly's guidelines.
I led my talented team of designers, artists, illustrators, and printing experts in extensive moodboarding, exploration, and development of multiple concepts to ensure the highest quality booth options for the Calendly leadership team.
We successfully designed and executed Calendly's booth in just a couple weeks while still managing multiple other projects, impressing event participants with the creativity, ingenuity, and engaging approach. Helping Calendly achieve an amazing and successful event experience.
