Art Direction
A strong concept and creative direction are at the root of everything I do. Art direction is turning a brand’s story or insight for a campaign into a creative roadmap that tells their story in a concise way. This is applied to many processes in brand development; identity design, digital design, photography, all the way to marketing a final product. I’m here to help you integrate your story into every medium that will bring your brand to life.
Brand Identity Design & Strategy
Strong design starts with a clear strategy made up of the answers to questions like: who are you? Who are you trying to reach? What do you stand for? What makes you different? Once I get a better understanding of your business and how to achieve your goals, we can design an identity rooted in a distinct concept that connects with your target audience. Identity design can include logos, colour palette, typography, graphic elements, photographic direction, and brand standards documentation.
Brand Illustrations
For the playful and curious, brand illustrations help you to stand out in a highly customized way. This can include designing characters or mascots, packaging illustrations, or spot illustrations for various applications. When you feel like the essence of your work is captured in an illustration, it builds a world for your brand that nobody else in the market exists in.
Print & Packaging Design
Print and packaging are the physical representations of your brand. It’s important that they stand out, characterize you well, and have a consistent, high-quality production process. As a designer with a background in print & beverage packaging I can help source materials, advise on print treatments, and coordinate with production as needed.
Signage & Wayfinding
For market visibility, signage & wayfinding are important considerations for any brick-and-mortar. Can your customers see your space from the road? Do they know where to go when they’re inside? Not only will I help you design your signage, but I’ll coordinate with printers to pick the best materials for your overall brand identity goals, budget, and location.
Accessible Digital Design
How your brand shows up consistently online should not be overlooked. Accessibility to all and compliance with WCAG standards are responsibilities that I take seriously when designing websites, products, ads, and social media assets.
Ongoing Marketing Support
After your brand is launched, I’m here to support you where needed. Whether that’s running a campaign, designing a trade show booth, or helping with small design tasks, I’m happy to work with you. Feel free to reach out if your project doesn’t completely align with the descriptions listed. We can discuss solutions that are right for you.
