Process

Who we work with

Any business or non-profit that is doing good in the world, improving the lives and health of living creatures and operating with integrity. Location doesn't matter—we can work with you wherever you are located.

How we work together

We believe in authentic communication. Our goal is to make it simple and easy to work with us, and eliminate any unnecessary clutter or waste (physically and mentally). We don't quickly or mindlessly create, but complete all our projects with integrity, joy and attention to detail. We're fighting disposable and quick, low-quality design. We believe you get what you pay for and fast-design is out like fast-fashion. We are planners and dreamers and envision and strive to make everything to be the best it can be so that you can level-up your brand. We do our best work when we follow a process and schedule. We put our hearts into our work and it shows. We don't do one-off projects, but instead prefer to form an ongoing relationship and get to know our clients, create or expand the brand and come up with the best solutions.

Working with vendors and printers on your behalf, we can take your project from the very beginning to the final product. We are happy you found us and are looking forward to many happy projects together!

LOGO DESIGN/BRANDING GUIDE/STATIONERY SUITE

Your logo and brand is based on you and the story you want to tell. If you don't have a name, we can help with that. Whether it's a start-up or a rebrand of an already established brand, we have a conversation about the brand, audience, usage, competitors, goals, dreams and needs for the brand. It's more than just a visual symbol, mark or typography. We create an original mark based on this story and information we gather. The mark will then extend to the creation of a color palette, typography and a look and feel for the brand. We create brand standards outlining the visual rules including color, typography, photography and/or illustration guidelines. We also create business card design, stationery or promotional materials.

PACKAGE DESIGN/RETAIL DESIGN

We do everything from simple labels to creative and Earth-friendly packaging. Your packaging needs to both protect your product, be easily and beautifully displayed and also stand out and sell your product. We specialize in retail signage, displays and creative packaging. We can source bottles and boxes or whatever is necessary for your product. For restaurants and cafes, we can create in-store signage as well as menus or menu templates. For brick and mortar shops, we can do any in-store signage, including window signage and decals. For online shops, we can create the perfect mailers and stickers or custom packaging for shipping.

website/SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING/DIGITAL AND PRINT ADVERTISING

Your brand needs to extend to advertising in the digital space, including your website, Social Media platforms and print and web advertising. Consistency and voice is really important across the digital space since that is where everyone is seeing your brand everyday. We can create ads, email artwork, web banners, Social Media ads and posts (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter). We can set up your social profiles and make sure they are visually aligned with your brand. We recommend, create and manage your campaigns, providing all the creative you need in the correct formats and sizes. We can also assist with strategy, content and copywriting. We create Squarespace websites and also design custom websites, partnering with copywriters and developers.

Pricing

We keep our pricing very simple and based on a per-project fee. We can also do a monthly retainer for longer term or recurring project needs or Social Media. After we have an initial discussion about your needs or project, we provide a Project Quote that you sign-off on. We require payment in full and a signature to begin a project for new clients. We book out in advance but may be able to accommodate projects in some instances with a 20% rush fee applied to your project.
