Piper Smith is the Graphic Designer at AxiomWeb, responsible for the visual language behind every product the studio ships — from brand systems and UI design to motion graphics and print collateral.

Piper studied Graphic Design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where she focused on visual communication and advanced typography under faculty who have shaped design for brands like Nike, Apple, and the Museum of Modern Art. She graduated with distinction and went on to complete a motion design certificate at Pratt Institute in New York, followed by a summer intensive in advanced typography at the Werkplaats Typografie in Arnhem, Netherlands — one of the most selective type programs in the world.

At AxiomWeb, Piper translates complex technical products into clean, intuitive visual systems. She builds design languages that hold up across screens, print, and motion — ensuring that every product the team ships looks as considered as it performs. Her work spans brand identity for SaaS products, UI design for enterprise dashboards, and motion graphics for client presentations.

Her philosophy: good design at a software company isn’t decoration. It’s architecture. Every visual decision either reduces cognitive load or adds to it. She reduces it.

01
Brand Identity
Full visual identity systems from logo mark to design language. Color theory, typography selection, iconography, and brand guideline documentation built to scale across every touchpoint.
02
UI Design
Interface design for web and mobile products. Component libraries, design systems, and pixel-perfect Figma deliverables that translate directly into developer-ready specs.
03
Motion Graphics
Animated brand assets, UI micro-interactions, explainer sequences, and presentation motion design. After Effects and Lottie-native for web-ready animation delivery.
04
Typography
Type selection, hierarchy systems, and custom lettering. Trained under the Werkplaats Typografie tradition — where type is the design, not a detail on top of it.
05
Visual Systems
Scalable design systems that keep large product teams consistent. Tokens, component libraries, documentation, and governance for design at enterprise scale.
06
Print & Collateral
Pitch decks, proposals, white papers, and marketing collateral designed for the boardroom. Print-ready files with CMYK precision and production-ready specs.
AxiomWeb Design
Design that earns its place.
Every product we build gets Piper’s eyes on it. Visual systems included, not billed separately.
