POST/CON 25
Project Overview
Role: Creative Director
Year: 2025
POST/CON 25 brought together the Postman community for two days of keynotes, workshops, and live demos centered on the AI-driven future of APIs.
As Creative Director, I defined the vision and built a modular design system across keynotes, environmental, experiential, digital, and marketing surfaces, enabling consistency and speed at scale. I led designers and external partners across all touchpoints, aligning stakeholders around a unified direction.
The event achieved 96% attendee satisfaction and established a repeatable foundation for future large scale brand initiatives.
Visual Direction & Theme
The visual theme was built around modular building blocks as a metaphor for collaboration, integration, and Postman's role at the center of the API ecosystem. The journey of the block, motion-driven interactions, and the Postman game served as core influences, giving the event a sense of play and progression that carried through every touchpoint.
Keynote Design
The keynote was designed as a game. API development was reframed as a journey where developers face boss battles representing real challenges like integration, security, and scalability. Postman plays the co-op partner throughout, with its tools showing up as gear drops and power-ups, making complex technical concepts feel urgent and fun to watch unfold.
Event Branding
The JW Marriott Los Angeles was transformed into an immersive brand environment, with dynamic visuals, interactive activations, a custom swag station, scenescape, and lenticular wall. A unified design system connected digital and physical touchpoints, creating a cohesive experience from registration to the main stage.
After-Party
The two days closed with a Cosmic Soirée, a vibrant after-party featuring a live performance by Mark Ronson.
