Design Services We Offer

We are a two-person, multidisciplinary team with a focus on Brand Identity, Campaign Marketing, and Information Design.

 
 
 

Brand Identity

Brand awareness is at the core of everything we do and is essential for large and small organizations. Whether you have an existing brand identity or are starting from the ground up, we offer a range of services to help you define, refine, or build upon your organization’s personality, image, and identity to connect to and engage your customers. If you are in need of brand identity work, below are some things to consider.

 

MORE THAN A LOGO

Successful brand solutions come from intuitive design systems. A logo is a small piece of that system. It’s important to understand and plan how that logo will work across endless applications, multiple platforms, and how it will inform the brand’s whole identity.

LONG TERM INVESTMENT

Building or refining a brand is an investment. “Brand-aids” are quick, cheap, temporary solutions that mask real issues. However, investing in your organization to develop an honest and accurate understanding of who you are is a long-term fix.

 

TIMELESSNESS BUILDS TRUST

Trends aren’t sustainable. When everyone wants to feel current and trendy, nobody stands out and will become lost in a world of sameness. Customers can’t tell companies apart, and it can hinder growth. Trends come and go, and brands need to exist beyond them, or they will feel dated. We focus on sustainable design solutions that will withstand the test of time. Doing so builds customer trust. The longer a brand exists and the more it is recognizable, customers and even employees will become more confident and trustworthy about the brand.

Marketing

 
 

GRAB YOUR AUDIENCE

Most forms of marketing, traditional and digital, rely significantly on visuals to grab attention. So whether you’re looking to increase brand awareness or are hoping for a more acquisition-focused goal, a consistent and intentional visual campaign is crucial to reaching that goal.

INCREASE BRAND AWARENESS

Visuals in any marketing campaign represent your brand. They need to connect to the correct people and connect in the right way. A great marketing campaign can build your brand's reputation, transforming one-time customers into long-lasting relationships.

Information Design

 
 

BIG OR SMALL

Information Design is a category of design that covers a wide variety of work and typically goes hand–in–hand with our marketing and brand identity services. While Information Design can be part of larger projects, these can also be stand-alone pieces set to accomplish one clear goal.

ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION

Communicating information is key to connecting with customers. Information can take shape in numerous ways, so it is extremely important for it to be accessible and easily understood by a desired demographic. We take complex data and information and visualize it in a way that can be easily understood and accomplish a specific goal.
