A very romantic and elegant brand identity design A very romantic and elegant brand identity design for PixieRos Photography, a fine art and documentary wedding photographer in Perth. (Ros is so talented! You should see her work!)

We elevated their visual brand with a more refined typography & illustration style, and a soft colour palette of muted rose and sage green. 

Oh, and the new website just went live. We'll be launching that soon too!

Another typeface I discovered while researching fo Another typeface I discovered while researching for a brand identity design project is Scotch Display Condensed. Also by Positype foundry, which I'm a tad obsessed with by now. 

"Clean, crisp, rational, familiar, modern… serifed. Positype Scotch reaches back to history just enough to produce something warm and easy on the eyes. Display sports shorter ascenders and descenders, a unique footprint, great contrast, and a more folded, calligraphic italics. Display subtly oozes sophistication." - from the font information. 

I adore this so much, and can't wait to use it for the next project that needs a sophisticated serif with all its attributes.

Super excited to share the new website for Kristin Super excited to share the new website for Kristine Angelone, a realtor from Ocean County, NJ. We opted for a very soft, beachy vibe for her website and brand. 

The homepage opens with a carefully directed video that Kristine and I planned in detail, showing off the vibe and lifestyle in this amazing, laid back beach town. Her brand photos also show the same mood, the same warm, relaxed feeling. I almost wanted to move!

It's time for a burst of joyful colors! We recentl It's time for a burst of joyful colors! We recently completed the brand new website for @poppy.home.design - a Maryland-based interior design studio that specializes in creating charming, high quality interiors. 💖

The launch day for a new website design is always a huge deal in the studio. It's all hands on deck, with everyone super focused to get the website finished on schedule. What was different this time was this huge smile on my face as we were working on this. 😁 

Allison and Monica, the fabulous co-founders, are so much fun to work with! They wanted their website to reflect their brand, their own personalities, as well as their love for color. Do check it out, and meet their lovable office assistants! 🐶

"How you do any thing, is how you do everything." "How you do any thing, is how you do everything." 

Even the seemingly small stuff counts a lot in business. Attention to detail is one of things I deeply appreciate. (And is really hard to do consistently!) From the top of my head, I can name 3 brands who consistently do this well: Cartier, Apple, and Temple Candles. 

Me? I do everything with passion, thought, and flair, and I'm proud of it. No half measures. How about you?
