Identity & Branding
Highlights Home Staging
PROJECTS: Logo, Marketing
Materials and Web Site.
This new home staging company needed an identity. The logo, a stylized "H" has a distinctive paint swash as the cross bar.
For many new companies, budget is an issue. Instead of designing and printing an expensive brochure, we opted for a 2-sided rack card that conveys all the important information at a fraction of the cost.
Petal Potion Herbs
PROJECTS: Logo, Label, Packaging

PROJECTS: Logo, Business Cards & Advertising

Most realtor cards are very cookie-cutter. The unique shape and colors of Susan's cards stand out and get her noticed at realtor open houses.

HEALTHCARE CONSULTING

The web site is easy to navigate, clean and to the point.
