I co-founded Epicly with Torrey Benane and led technical and creative direction. We launched a guided web app for writing ad scripts and generating voiceovers in a brand’s voice.

What we built
Torrey Benane and I came to Epicly from video production. We’d seen how much work it took to turn a client brief into a script and voiceover that sounded like the brand. Our early-access app gave small teams a guided way to draft a script, revise it, and generate a voiceover. I led the technical build and creative direction, developing the visual identity from Torrey’s starting palette.

The Brand
The branding features a "Modern SaaS" aesthetic, characterized by a bold, blocky typeface with a cutout feature for the logo. The name "Epicly" is inspired by the term "Epic," which refers to a story.
The Kibble Co. walkthrough
We invented The Kibble Co., a fictional pet-food brand, to try making an ad from a small team’s point of view. The campaign demo follows that brand from a creative brief into ad variants. Pugly is the finished spot we made around the same brand.
