The Brand Asset Hub / Q2 2025

One App for Brand Requests, PDFs, and Print Orders.

I replaced three vendor relationships with a single internal tool that runs the entire creative ops loop.

// The Problem

The marketing team ran brand asset requests through a patchwork of email threads, Dropbox folders, and a print vendor portal. Design requests got lost. File versions diverged. Print orders required manual re-entry into a vendor system. The creative operations loop was entirely human-powered with no single source of truth.

// The Build

I built an internal Next.js app that consolidates the entire creative ops workflow. The client's project management platform serves as the canonical asset source of truth, synced bidirectionally into Supabase with row-level security. The app handles design request intake (with AI-powered processing via Claude), branded PDF generation on demand using pdfme with the client's brand typography and templates, and print order routing directly to fulfillment partners.

The PDF generation pipeline uses Claude Vision to analyze design briefs, extract intent, and populate templated PDFs with the correct brand assets and layout. Asset storage on S3 with presigned URLs for secure distribution.
