Engineering Logic + Brand Vision 🔭
Engineering Logic
& Brand Vision 🔭
I’m an Industrial Engineer by training, a brand and service designer by trade, and all in all, a builder. I’ve partnered with founders worldwide to build products and services that people actually want. My approach is simple: probe the ‘whys’ to a stubborn degree, gauge every available resource, then build, clean-slate and fearless.

Project Bikle
2021 – 2022

Launched a side business in college to bridge student commute gaps by sourcing surplus bicycles from seniors, refurbishing with local vendors to increase asset value, and executing a flyer campaign centered on a ’20-minute time-save’ value proposition. Flipped 30+ units, many with 100% ROI.
Highlights
+ Personally conducted over 70 negotiations (covering both the acquisition and sale of bicycles) to maintain a consistent ROI of at least 70%.
+ Successfully transitioned the business from a solo operation to a team-based model by recruiting and managing college batchmates to handle increased demand.

"Noel and his team have been instrumental in the creation of Maryland Indoor Air Quality Advocates brand. From logo ideation and design to helping guide our messaging and services based on thoughtful research, this has been less of working with an outside entity or agency and more of an extension of our organization. Much of the detail put into research has felt like it came from myself as the founder. That level of commitment is rare and highly valuable. Life is about relationships and my hope is that Brands of Earth will be a partner of MIAQA's growth for years to come."
"We were looking at a consumer AI venture where margins looked great but something felt off. We had Noel and his team audit their entire creative pipeline. Turns out, the brand moat was just an external agency and an ad set they lucked out with. He mapped out how they could bring that entire engine in-house so they weren't essentially a subsidiary for an expensive vendor. Happy to vouch for Noel.'
