Redesign

Morgan Stanley

A complete overhaul of Morgan Stanley’s digital presence, with a twofold mission: to better showcase the firm’s thought leadership and to create a compelling platform for attracting new talent. As Senior Art Director at Huge, I art-directed the new website and the recruiting experience that followed.

Website Redesign

We started with two design directions. Six months later, we had designed and built an all-new editorial website, including articles migrated from Morgan Stanley’s previous platform. The design humanized the brand by showing the people behind it, for clients and future talent alike.

Article hero "Imperative Opportunity": a hummingbird on green.

Articles were designed for a great reading experience on any device.

Recruiting

After the website launched, we were asked to rethink the recruiting application process. Our goal was a platform that onboards, educates and guides candidates applying for jobs at Morgan Stanley.
