Branding

Creating meaningful logos, colors and fonts based on user research, design mapping, moodboards, and content strategy provides brand awareness.

Branding a company or website is one of my favorite tasks. It’s a long process of research, design iterations, and user testing, but I enjoy the hidden meanings in logos and providing an overall idea and emotion with just a few colors and a single font. The branding process pulls from the Discovery Phase, where I can infer the feelings of future visitors to the website. I usually create a moodboard from these emotions, which helps guide the color scheme and font type.

Project Examples

511.org SF Bay

While updating the site in 2016 and then in 2019, I updated the logo to meet the needs of the project. Some of the color influence came from early design concepts.

Larry for Mayor

I really enjoyed creating the brand for a US mayoral campaign AND the logo for the successful Mayor's Office afterwards.

Insight Terra

Working with the stakeholders on creating the logo was an intense and wonderous experience. A small readjustment was made to add green into the logo as part of the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy.

The Toll Roads of Orange County

We helped to tweak the logo on the website to focus on the correct location. Other challenges included multiple logos with various colors, and creating a web design with yellow that wasn't a big "warning" sign.
