New Website Launch for Llorente Design

January 30, 2014 | Website Design

I am pumped to show of this colorful, clean new site I designed for Christine, the owner and talented designer at Llorente Design out of Miami Florida. Christine is a unique client, as she is also a graphic designer and already had a beautiful brand in place before we met. I am always a tad picky when it comes to designing a site for an already established brand, but I knew when I saw Christine’s style, logo, and color palette that we were going to make a great team. I also knew she was a lovely person because she is pals with one of my sweetest clients, Haydee of Sweetest Celebrations, down in Miami. Christine has such a fantastic eye for design and makes some killer paper products for weddings, photobooths, save-the-dates, etc. So, please take a sec and show Christine some love by visiting her newly launched site! Christine – Thank you so much for letting me join creative forces with you on this project!

New Brand Launch: Sweetest Celebrations

January 21, 2014 | Brand Launches, Print Design

Haydee has to be one of my sweetest clients to date. She is the owner and talented event stylist and coordinator of Sweetest Celebrations located in Miami, Florida. She came to me looking for a soft feminine “parisian chic” feel for her new brand. We hand drew the “sweetest” in a semi traditional calligraphy style and added “celebrations” in the beautiful Anna Clara typeface. The light blush ombre watercolor provides a perfect balance to the bold romantic black and gold tones. Haydee – I know this took me forever to post and you are already taking over the event planning world by now!

New Brand Launch: Ashley Lynn Fry Photography & Creative Styling

January 17, 2014 | Brand Launches, Uncategorized

Another fellow creative that I had the opportunity to work with back in 2013…check out the new new look for Ashley Lynn Fry Photography & Creative Styling. Ashley is an awesomely talented wedding photographer who also has a serious talent for styling and coordinating events. She was looking for a handwritten logo that highlighted her initials “ALF” since her name is a pretty long one. Succulents inspired the green focused color palette and we added in a touch of black and gold to round out the look. You can check out how we got to the final result by taking a peak at her brand inspiration board below. Ashley – Thanks for being a great client and I wish you all the best with your new brand launch!

New Brand Launch: Sweet Lilac Photography

January 09, 2014 | Brand Launches

Since the closing out of 2013 was so busy, I am a little behind in sharing some of the beautiful brands I had the opportunity to design last year. In light of the freezing temps around lately…here is the warm, comfy, new brand for Sweet Lilac Photography. Courtney, owner and photographer behind Sweet Lilac, was looking for her new brand to really reflect her personal and professional style. She always found herself gravitating towards a warm, muted color palette with rustic undertones and her Pinterest pins and questionnaire answers really helped me nail down her new look. Below you will find her inspiration board, a few logos that didn’t quite make the cut, and her final new look {that was actually a combo of her favorite aspects from 2 of the 4 logo choices she was originally presented}.

New Brand Launch: Pineapple Studios

January 07, 2014 | Brand Launches, Uncategorized, Website Design

Happy {belated} New Year! I am so excited to finally share the new Pineapple Studios brand and custom WordPress website with you guys today. Jess, the owner, yoga instructor, and pottery lover, behind Pineapple Studios’ unique concept, came to me back in the fall to help create her new brand. This project is special to me because it is a local business here in Wilmington, North Carolina. Most of my clients find me from all over the US and beyond {which is totally amazing to work with people all over} but it was nice to work with Jess locally, discuss her vision over a warm cup of coffee, and see her studio come together from start to finish in person. I had so much fun creating Jess’s brand with a handwritten brush pen and a splash of watercolor and carrying her new look throughout her custom WordPress website.

She is celebrating her grand opening at her studio in downtown Wilmington this weekend. So, to all my local followers and Wrightsville Beach vacationers, be sure to check out the New Pineapple Studios on Front Street and visit her new site WordPress website we developed at www.lovepineapplestudios.com to learn more. Jess – good luck with your grand opening this weekend and I can’t wait to get dirty in a pottery class soon!
