Hi, I’m Haig.


I make brands resonate with culture. Identities and systems that scale. Campaigns that perform. AI workflows that elevate craft, not replace it. Always delivered with clarity, creativity, and integrity. Over 15+ years leading teams and shaping global brands.

My work lives where brand design, UX, and marketing converge. I began at Razorfish, one of the pioneers of digital experience, creating early UX and brand platforms for Ford, Charles Schwab, and Estée Lauder. At Fidelity, I helped establish a new digital marketing group that united product design with brand storytelling. I later launched and led the East Coast office of a boutique branding agency serving financial and hospitality clients.

That experience led me to Johnson & Johnson, where I guided the visual identity transformation across its Consumer, MedTech, and Pharmaceutical businesses, building unified systems, digital ecosystems, and purpose-driven campaigns spanning ESG, innovation, and HCP engagement. Most recently, I’ve led brand and experience design for a top global law firm, Ropes & Gray, integrating AI-assisted workflows and governance standards that ensure creativity scales with consistency and impact.

These custom GPT tools are under active refinement; feel free to explore and watch the magic evolve.

Chat co-pilot surfaces meaning gaps and symbolic moves for launch, refresh, repositioning.

Modeled on a semiotician’s workflow, Semiotic Strategist reveals where brands can launch, refresh, or disrupt by decoding cultural codes, mapping tensions, and aligning signs across every touchpoint. Its 7-part framework tracks symbols, visuals, and language in concert, so teams spot meaning gaps, swap stronger codes in, and sharpen differentiation before the competition blinks.

A streamlined, five-dimensional brand snapshot for dissecting one brand or pitting rivals head-to-head.

Brand Decoder reveals how brands resonate by decoding visual, verbal, and symbolic signals. Using 5 lenses—Surface Signals, Cultural Codes, Narrative Map, Semiotic Gaps, and Strategic Insight—it turns noise into clear narrative. Each analysis includes a visual table summary, giving strategists and creatives sharp insights to refine positioning, unlock meaning, and stand out.
