Brand and social

A brand kit, and one for every partner club

Built Ligo's brand kit and design system in Claude Design, plus a kit for partner clubs: "RSVP on Ligo" and "Find it on Ligo" badges for their own flyers, and QR flyers like this one for freshman move-in.

The Ligo design system cover: the Ligo wordmark on orange beside the brand palette Move-in flyer: Built for Hoyas, by Hoyas, with a QR code to download Ligo

The explainer video

Made Ligo's 43-second explainer for meetligo.com in Remotion: your campus never stops posting, you only follow a few clubs, and Ligo puts every event in one scroll.

meetligo.com and its landing pages

Built 84% of meetligo.com, including the careers page and landing pages for single flyer campaigns, like free food.

The meetligo.com homepage meetligo.com/food: Find free food. It's all on Ligo.

Visit meetligo.com →   See the free food page →

Email

Wrote and designed Ligo's emails: welcome, referral, the weekly digest, and event sends like free food. The win-back series gives every stage of absence its own message (3–7, 8–14, 15–29, and 30+ days), with a separate track for students who signed up but never tried the app.

Weekly digest email: Your week, sorted. Event email: Free food, this week. Win-back email for students who never tried the app: Say yes to one thing.
The spring blog

Wrote and illustrated Ligo's spring blog: four posts on how feeds and algorithms shape attention, with original art made in Adobe Firefly. Ghostwrote the founder's letter on the company's story and vision, the one post Ligo kept up when it changed direction.

The marketing system

Ligo's first admin platform was a broken early version. I rebuilt it into one place the team ran marketing from, in place of a stack of separate tools:

The Ligo admin panel's Activity page: Good evening, Mekhi, with cards for real users, people who opened the app today, RSVPs, club events, and clubs The Clubs page: club requests from the website, club creations waiting for approval, and a pipeline of partnered, in-conversation, and not-yet-contacted clubs The Review page: club events waiting for approval, shown as the swipe cards students see in the app Brand templates: pick a partner club, fill the slots, and the partnership announcement post builds itself in the preview The Email page: the win-back program's stages, from 3 to 7 days away onward, each with its own kind of message

The panel in its preview mode, with sample data and contact details blurred.

Strategy

The content strategy

Co-developed Ligo's social and content strategy with a three-person team on daily calls.

Creator strategy and hiring

Designed how Ligo would work with creators, then ran the hiring: wrote the job postings and interview guide, interviewed candidates, and made the case for the content creator Ligo hired.
