Patina Capital

Turning rust into global trust

Overview

Patina Capital began as a brand for Patina Flats, a luxury adaptive-reuse conversion of Cleveland’s former Westinghouse factory, and evolved into a broader regenerative investment platform focused on the Great Lakes.

Industry

Real estate & investment

Role

Creative direction

Services

Identity Architecture, Brand Identity, Motion Design, Web Design

Created at

A small studio

I joined at the spark of the identity process, helping shape Patina’s brand into a cohesive mark and design system. The identity carries the idea of rust becoming trust, from factory floor to investment platform.

From there I led creative direction across motion design, marketing initiatives and website design. Every touchpoint tells the same story of regeneration across the Great Lakes.

I’ve stayed close as a creative partner since launch. The work keeps evolving, refining the story and stretching the vision for what Patina Capital can unlock.
