Visual identity design

Be beautiful

Cool, awesome, professional, contemporary? I get it. With a twist maybe? Setting the right vibe and tone to connect with your audience is key.

Before starting logo sketches, I usually listen to where your brand is now and where you want it to be. I don't spend a million years on research — instead, I want the client to be in on the creative process asap. As a basis for brainstorming, I ideate, sketch, and start over. That brings out good ideas, and often, the client sees things I didn’t and vice versa. What's better than ending up with a great result that you made together?

Every time, I’m reminded just how rewarding logo creation can be 🫠

Style guidance

For a cohesive outcome, I deliver visual specs, dos and don'ts, color palettes, typography advice, graphical moodboards, style elements, and ideas for both on-screen and printable media. This helps everyone remain aligned when it comes to brand aesthetics. Consistency goes a long way.
