Technical Illustrations & Visual Systems for iFixit

Representing hundreds of products required more than individual illustrations. The project needed a visual system capable of grouping a wide range of devices into a recognizable family while preserving clarity, proportion, and identity.

As the collaboration expanded, the work also grew into other formats: infographics explaining refrigerators and dishwashers, graphics about joystick mechanisms, visualizations of Onion Bottom's geothermal heating system, and more complex illustrations such as exploded views of consoles, controllers, and other gadgets.

Although these pieces served different purposes, they all needed to feel unmistakably part of iFixit's visual language.

My isometric illustration methodology was essential to building that consistency at scale.

A systematized workflow made it possible to accelerate production while maintaining uniformity in structure, proportions, angles, and graphic treatment across hundreds of assets.

Because the illustrations were created for digital environments, clean and efficient SVG delivery was a priority from the beginning. Each file had to be readable, lightweight, and ready to integrate into iFixit's platform and digital content ecosystem.

This same structured approach also made it possible to extend the visual language beyond thumbnails into infographics, animations, and exploded diagrams without losing coherence.

What began as a large-scale thumbnail commission evolved into a broader family of technical illustrations and visual systems for iFixit.

The result was a body of work that combined scalability, consistency, and flexibility across multiple digital applications.
