Our approach to graphic design
In all things, there is beauty.
Collectively, both Katie and I have spent a good portion of our careers finding ways to tell visual stories for the companies in which we’ve worked. We’ve built full brands, communication plans, extensive business collateral, and various other visual elements. We’re ready to harness our skills and our knack for ensuring that people's visions on paper and in their minds live fully in the world.
We find creative energy from our senses; they are always on alert. On our walks, we get stopped in our tracks by the sunsets or a flower trying to push through the soil. In the grocery store, the colors and textures of the fruit section often entice us to take a photo. The shadows on buildings, the smells of fresh pastries from a local bakery, and the sound of the wind give us energy and provide us inspiration.
So much of our individual stories are influenced by the things around us. It’s because of this, we draw inspiration from those things in our graphic design work.
We seek to find beauty in the simple things of life and think simple is beautiful. Graphic design doesn’t need to be stuffy - it can be calming, approachable, and accessible. The brands our clients bring to us are personal - and we take great responsibility in ensuring the visual elements of a brand are representative of the people behind it.
What do we offer?
Our graphic design + brand development work at our studio is centered around pulling inspiration and creativity from our surroundings. While our surroundings include our everyday experiences, they also include historical context and current events - because all great design is relevant, approachable, and representative of the times.
We offer full-scale graphic design and services - all the way from strategy and concept development to brand expression. For business owners, our visual identity is often the first interaction our clients have with us. In order to make sure you get it right, we offer a comprehensive package of services.
Logo Design: We’ll work to understand the full purpose + vision you have for your brand, and design a comprehensive logo package for you to use in various ways across multiple platforms.
Style Guides: Consistency is key when communicating with your audiences. We’ll come on a journey with you as you seek to find the best colors, fonts, key messages, and alternate logos for your business that can be applied to any form of communication. You’ll leave with a comprehensive guide, as well as a few packaged pieces of work.
Brand Auditing: Sometimes our brands become outdated. We’ll work to interview your clients - new and old - as well as understand your market to help you refresh your presence.
Brand Expression: If you have an already established style, but just need additional support in creating deliverables - we can do that too. Think web pages, one-pagers, presentations, posters, business cards, etc.
We offer customizable services and work to meet the needs of our clients first. Each of our projects starts with a conversation to fully understand the need and vision. We only want to take on clients in which a relationship is mutually beneficial, and therefore, costs are determined based on the scope of the project and after conversations.
