Episode Six
Episode Six is a global provider of enterprise-grade card issuing and ledger infrastructure for financial technology companies, banks, and brands. Their platform delivers the innovative capabilities needed to compete with disruptors and lead the market, such as flexibility, adaptability, and resilience.
Gabrielle has collaborated with the creative team at Episode Six full-time for three years.
Her role introduced her to the complexities of Financial Technology and continues to push the bounds of her creative skillset. Working on the nimble team, she is constantly evolving, expanding, and refining the brand while working with cross-functional teams and third-party vendors.
She manages a multitude of projects simultaneously, such as white paper and one-pager designs, event design, technical product diagrams, high-stakes sales decks, social media, and website design.
Website Design
The Process
In 2025, Gabrielle collaborated with the team on a global website redesign, maturing the Episode Six brand. The 8-month overhaul included extensive competitive analyses, concepting, wireframing, mockups, motion prototyping, technical illustration design, and working with the team to organize all assets into an atomic design system in Figma. She used her artistic background to conceptualize the new website, and her leadership skills to art direct and delegate as needed.
