What part of the brand building process can I help you with?

Logo design

Starting with research and strategy, the logo design process will involve creating (or finding) the perfect font, color(s) and composition to get the best result to fit the company's culture. From sketch to final refinement you'll be engaged in the process.

Stationery design

Everything from letterhead design and business card design to compliments slip and templates for presentations will be created along the logo design guidelines and follow the brand strategy. These products are the foundation of the identity design.

Brand guidelines

A brand, or even just a logo design needs some basic guidelines. A brand book (or logo guidelines) will be created to determine all the standards of the brand identity design. This includes which colors, fonts and shapes to use how, when and where.

Looking for anything specific like a logo redesign or brand update? Please email or call me.
