When Cisco acquires a new company, we create Heritage Walls to welcome the employees to Cisco. The walls are an installation of several video screens with an animation reel that plays throughout. The purpose of these video installations is to honor the company’s successes and welcome them to the Cisco family.

For these installations, we shoot photos of the employees and feature them in the animation reel. This particular project required photo shoots in two locations - Boston and Tel Aviv. My role in this project to lead the photo shoot on location in Tel Aviv.

I was responsible for ensuring the quality of the photography, which included making certain the photographer matched the visual style and mood of the Boston shoot (and the previously developed walls). I provided direction to both the photographer the individuals being photographed.

Cisco DevNet is a program that helps developers and IT professionals who want to write applications and develop integrations with Cisco products and services.

I developed this new visual identity for the program. The new logo celebrates the open-source collaboration and the people who built the community.

In 2019, Cisco launched its first ever software certification through DevNet. The badges are inspired by the current CCDA and CCIE badges, but reflect Cisco’s new brand direction. The badges were unveiled by Chuck Robbins, Cisco CEO, during his Cisco Live keynote.
