Messy

Branding

Our client Courtney Shields first single is now available on iTunes, Spotify, and Apple Music. We had the pleasure of designing her album artwork and promotion graphics. We can’t wait for her second single (in the works) and her brand new website launching late 2019.

Tara Rochford Nutrition

Branding

Tara Rochford came to me wanting to streamline her business and change her name and create a brand new website to celebrate it all so we did just that for her. Tara is a registered dietitian and helps students over at Butler University but she wanted to add more to her plate (no pun intended, ok maybe pun intended). We created a new brand for Tara under her full name so she can document her lifestyle and continue to coach students and clients alike. Here are some highlights from our mood board, final logo concept and her new business cards. Full site design coming soon.

A New Mood

Branding

I’ve been exploring my process over the course of this year. I can’t believe it’s already April already. I’ve been doing a bit more thinking about how I approach the client on-boarding process as well as the early design stages and setting the overall tone for the project. Back in the early days I never in a million years would let the client make the mood board.

Not only was this not how I was taught (at the advertising agency I started out at) but it’s also not really their job to know what is best for their brand (visually, that is). However, over the years I’ve been convinced and even been taught a different approach where you let the client chose and then base your decisions based off of that. This process yield much faster results but I have found, as a designer … there is always something a bit “off” or “forced” about it when I get to the actual design (whether it’s the logo or the typography or even sometimes the color palette). Sometimes it doesn’t make sense conceptually and/or what they like doesn’t mean it’s good for their brand. As I slowly dive deeper into figuring out what works best for me and my clients I’ve been doing somewhat of a hybrid study.

I’ll have them show me some inspiration and then I’ll take over and curate a board (or two). Although this client board didn’t work for them, I have to say it is one of my most favorite mood boards I’ve ever created and would be so excited to create a brand around this. Who knows, maybe I’ll save it for a new business venture in the future. ;)

New York, New York

Branding

Not sure if being from New York makes you totally batshit crazy or really awesome. Either way I’ve always attributed it to my insane work ethic and ability to juggle a million things at once. I almost work better that way, which is ludicrous. This mood board has been so fun to pull from these past few days because working with local clients rocks. Same time zone, same vibe, way easier to relate in general. After wrapping up a whirlwind work week where I had to make some self sacrifices, I’m super happy that I got so much accomplished. As Frank Sinatra so famously said, “I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps and find I’m king of the hill, top of the heap.”

Healthy Glow Co.

Branding

The Healthy Glow Collective is a community and resource that encourages women to live a healthier, vibrant lifestyle and glow from the inside out. When Katie, Monique and Lee came to me interested in creating a fresh and vibrant brand … we all just knew we’d be a good fit. Their amazing recipes and work ethic combined with my clean aesthetic and e-commerce knowledge were a match made in foodie heaven.

Before we got started we had to first settle on a name. One group conference call later we fell in love with the simplicity of Healthy Glow while incorporating the .co for Collective and that’s how Healthy Glow Co. was born! After intense rounds of logo work, color tweaking, branding the voice, and developing the artistic direction we were finally ready to get to photographing to be able to tell our story online.

Check out the site design here.

Mars Yoga

Branding

Lisa Mars came to me looking for a place she could grow her business full time. As a certified yoga instructor in the local community she wanted something that felt organic and relatable yet showcased her extensive knowledge about her practice. We created a conceptual mark for her new business venture that can grow with her whether it’s on the front door of her own studio or yoga mats in the future. We can’t wait for the full launch of mars.yoga … until then here is a sneak peek at the homepage.

WWB Lifestyle Mood Board

Branding

Here is a client that I absolutely adored. Not only did I love to work with an edgier style but who doesn’t love pops of red mixed with black and gold. We are in full holiday swing over here and gearing up for some final projects to finish out the year. This past weekend I sent out a few Thank You cards to some of my most awesome clients just to let them know I’ve been thinking of them and I appreciate working with them. They do say it’s better to give then receive. What have you done to give a little extra this holiday? Stay tuned for more from this sexy client project.

Natalie Estes

Branding

If you have come across my website or blog before you might have remembered I posted about Natalie back in April when her new website launched but this past month I’ve been featuring more of my process work and other elements we accomplished when creating her branding. Below are the mood board as well as the final business cards (1 of 4 front options) along with her debut album cover, Facebook and YouTube cover photos to complete the look. Don’t forget to take a look at the full site here and make sure to buy a copy of her wonderful album. :)

With Love From Kat Mood Board

Branding

Mood board peek at client’s new #site #redesign  … super editorial and chic. So this weekend was spent doing lots of work and all unintentional. I just sat down at my desk to do one thing and ended up pretty inspired. I finally got around to verifying my business on Google and creating a Facebook Page for my business. I’m still in the air if I should separate my personal account with my business but the way I look at it is: if the people I care about don’t care about my business than do they really care about me?

Q the Stylist

Branding

Katie Quinn kills it in her career as a fashion stylist in New York City and beyond (she travels too)! We revamped her site a few months ago and I wanted to share the board we pulled our colors from. Very chic and sophisticated if you ask me.

Instagram post 2167597828440588823_3982806962 Today is the day! Courtney’s new song, “Miss You Sometimes” is officially LIVE. Available on iTunes, Spotify + Apple Music 🎶. “I wrote this song after the passing of my dad, for anyone who’s experienced a loss of some kind. Big, small or something in between. Mostly, I wrote this song for myself. It’s the best way I’ve been able to put the missing someone daily feeling into words and I truly hope you love it. The song was supposed to be released two weeks ago, but after this week, God had a different plan ❤️ 📷 : @kilpat

For the past year we’ve been working on this new re-brand and site design for @ambitiouskitchen and I can’t say how excited I am that we are almost here. This is truly been one of the most labor intensive sites filled with so much love poured into it. We can’t wait to reveal it to you and the world. So for now, here is just the logo and some sneak peaks at the full branding. More to come!
