Clean and Crisp Branding Design for Susan Mann Photography

“Clean, uncomplicated, classic, professional, legitimate, and joyful.” Doesn’t that sound like a great brand for a portrait photographer?

Susie was looking for a logo to differentiate her more serious portrait work from her family photography work. (I had created her family photography logo a couple of years ago - really enjoyed working with Susie again!)

Susan has such a gift for sparking passion and bringing joy with her wherever she goes. I only wish I was in NYC so we could hang out! Please follow her work on Instagram and book a session with her if you are so lucky to be near her!

Illustrative Branding Design for Tavola Rosa

So happy to share a peek at a new branding project for Tavola Rosa! I really enjoyed crafting an illustrative logo for this local meal prep and catering company. Huge thanks to Marissa for trusting me with her project!

Marissa wanted to reflect the warm and comforting aspects of her Italian heritage while showcasing the her fresh and modern spin. The combination of pink with a more rustic illustration visually brings both old and new together. Logo variations ensure that Marissa will be able to use her logo and branding across many mediums.

I can’t wait to see her business grow and grow! Find her on Instagram here.

Let's PLAY: Mural in Downtown Woodstock for Elm Street Arts

For a look at the video and process for this project check out our Instagram Story Highlight.

It was such a joy to work on this mural in Downtown Woodstock. The mural is at the entrance of the Downtown Woodstock playground. This magical woodland playground enables free play. There is music making, building materials, rock scrambles, tunnels and a huge climbing structure. It’s all set into a stand of trees. I can appreciate this playground both as a mom and a creative. The colors are so natural and there is shade. (Can I get an AMEN!) I love that the table are kid sized - it’s obvious that this play space is made for kids to play with kids. There is adult sized seating on the edges and the playground has pretty great visibility - something you look out for when you have more than one kiddo to mind.

The mural was designed by Dusty Beaulieu. It includes a quote from Magda Gerber and icons that reflect Elm Street’s many creative programs. Theater, music, and art are all represented in playful illustrations. The mural was painted in white over a natural concrete texture. We wanted to keep with the natural tone of the playground, so instead of painting the quote in over a white background, we painted around the quote letting the concrete shine through.

We really enjoyed this project and the chance to pick up our paint brushes and get outside. I love any opportunity to take our work out from behind a computer. Our business allows us to both design and bring our work to life.

We would love to do more mural and sign painting work, so hit us up if you have a project in mind! Till then, see ya on the playground!
