BEAUTIFULLY STRATEGIC
Branding and web design projects built on heart + science.
Our clients know what their business stands for. See some examples below of how we turned that heart into branding and websites that are as smart as they are.

PUBLIC RELATIONS FIRM
A highly respected public relations boutique representing a wide range of arts and civic clientele from Chicago’s most iconic cultural institutions to its grassroots non-profit organizations was preparing to celebrate its 25th anniversary. As part of a web design package, we migrated their custom WordPress website and designed and built a new site with Squarespace that honors the scope of their work and clientele.

CAREER COACH
Over the course of a year-long collaborative engagement, we guided executive, career and personal coach Tres Jiménez to clarity on her purpose and positioning, developed a brand identity that bridges corporate credibility with holistic authenticity, art directed her brand photography, and built a website that represents the full breadth of her transformative work—creating a cohesive online presence that attracts aligned clients and fuels her growing practice.

REAL ESTATE & HOSPITALITY
For the owner of a destination rental property in the Palm Springs area of the California desert, we delivered the whole enchilada: brand strategy, property name, visual identity, copywriting, art direction and photography, website design and build, and development of the digital guest welcome kit, to elevate the property amongst the many properties at The Citrus Club and attract a high-end client looking for luxury with a home-away-from-home sensibility.

A photographer in Chicago’s North Shore was ready to grow her business on her terms. We developed a brand strategy, new identity and built a website to showcase her work while capturing her values and giving clients a clear path to booking their own portrait experience.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
An author, speaker and educator with the goal of making diversity matter at work was preparing to launch a DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) e-learning program. We built a brand strategy, brand identity, custom illustrations, websites (the LearnWorlds e-learning platform and Squarespace 7.1) and workbook templates to help make the workplace and world better.

TAKEOUT PIZZERIA
How to take a Chicago icon and make it modern? An award-winning pizza restaurant deserves a website that captures the fun and heritage of Chicago deep dish pizza and makes ordering as easy as pie. We wrote new taglines, redesigned and updated their website on their platform of choice (Wix), and ate so much great pizza along the way.

LUXURY REAL ESTATE AGENCY
One of Chicago's top realtors wanted to rebuild as a luxury practice that connects organically and authentically with clients who share their values. We developed brand strategy, refreshed the visual identity, designed the website, wrote all marketing copy, and elevated every client touchpoint — transforming how they attract clients and operate their business.

A luxury home goods curator with direct-to-customer and top-tier retail distribution needed her brand to match her success and support ambitious growth plans. Through brand strategy and a complete visual refresh, we developed positioning around "funky luxe” and created a brand system that positioned her for next-stage opportunities.
