New Brand Launch: Jon Hartman Photography Co.

March 28, 2013 | Brand Launches, Uncategorized

I am super excited to show off this awesome retro brand refresh for Jon Hartman Photography Co. This was a business branding project we received through Mint 102 and Angela {my awesome business partner in Mint 102 and owner of Saffron Avenue} and I worked with Amy and Jon, the power couple behind the camera, to develop the full brand that they were looking for. We started with their current logo, {which we knew had great potential} made a few typography tweaks, added subtle element flairs, and topped it off with a grunge effect. We then brewed a retro cool color palette, texture and pattern combo to complete their business brand. We just love their new look and are designing their pricing sheet as we speak. A big thanks to Jon and Amy for the opportunity to work with them on this project! Please check out their amazing work at Jon Hartman Photography Co.

Our Sister Company, Mint 102 Wedding + Event Branding, Launches New Site Design!

March 27, 2013 | Mint 102 Wedding & Event Branding, Website Design

As most of you know, I am also an owner of Mint 102 Wedding + Event Branding, with my lovely partner in design, Angela of Saffron Avenue. Mint 102 specializes in custom graphic + web design for weddings and events, developing a cohesive brand for them much like you would a business. In September of 2012 we launched Mint 102 {view full story here} with the wild hopes the idea of wedding + event branding was a cool as we both thought it was. With our love and experience in graphic design + business branding coupled with our knowledge of the wedding industry {Angela being a former wedding planner and myself being a bride-to-be}, we jumped right in.

And here we are 6 months from our first launch, with a list of awesome clients, great fans and supportive followers…AND we had even outgrown our first website! So today Angela and I are launching our new brand refresh and site full of fun design, beautiful events, and big dreams. Please check out our new site at www.mint102.com and see what’s new. A special thank you to all the Mint lovers out there for your encouragement and support these past 6 months, we couldn’t have dont it without you!

COASTAL ROOTS BRAND LAUNCH!

March 06, 2013 | Brand Launches, Website Design

I had the opportunity to work with Coastal Roots through the Lemonstripe Collective. David, the owner and brains behind this operation, was fantastic to work with and the idea behind their new brand definitely appeals to the coastal lovers out there. They have created a brand that signifies loyalty to our coastlines and really reflects the true essence of coastal living. Being a resident of Wilmington for over 12 years now and a coastal lover myself, I was really pumped to work with these guys and can’t wait to see where this new brand goes from here! Be sure to check them out online at www.coastal-roots.com and stay tuned for their online store coming soon.

Lemonstripe Collective Brand Launch!

March 06, 2013 | Brand Launches

For those of you that don’t know, I am the lead graphic designer for the Lemonstripe team along with some other amazing talents in video and web production so this new brand was very near and dear to my heart. I helped found Lemonstripe over 3 years ago with Tom Peterson, Lemonstripe’s video guru, and it had certainly outgrown its former logo. They work with everyone from local businesses to pharmaceutical companies trying to break into the US market so we really wanted this logo to appeal to the masses. We designed something simple and sophisticated and topped it off with a little fun retro twist. I hope you enjoy their new logo, it sure looks awesome on all of the new marketing material!

Donna Daily Brand Launch

March 02, 2013 | Brand Launches, Website Design

Donna Daily’s new brand just launched and we are so excited about the big city look. This was a Lemonstripe Collective project and I had an awesome time working with Angela Scheffer of Saffron Avenue (also my awesome partner in Mint 102). Donna Kim loves making style and beauty simple for the everyday woman and she wanted her new brand to reflect just that. We just love the pops of red with the touch of blush and glitter (we have a glitter problem) with sharp black that makes it really pop. Donna’s site is clean and stylish with the blog front and center on the home page.

We loved working with Donna and are honored to have been asked to develop the brand and website to her newest venture, Boast and Blush, with her partner MC. We just finished the feminine but fierce brand for Boast and Blush and the site is currently in the oven and looking to be launched early spring. Keep an eye out for this project and these girls…they are going to do big things!
