BRANDING + GRAPHIC DESIGN
As an established independent graphic design studio, your brand is our business. Building of brands through logo & identity has become our niche over the last 20 years. We work with corporate clients, yet enjoy the the close local connections with Bay Area startups, shops and restaurants as well. Currently, we’re helping a Hawaiian restaurant in Capitola – Pono Kitchen & Tap – with branding and apparel illustration. Our newest client is Santa Cruz Naturals – one of the original cannabis dispensaries in the area. We’re refreshing their logo and taking advertising in a different direction. Watch for their new print ads in the major local publications and don’t miss the billboard on highway 152.
Over the last two decades, we’ve helped quite a few businesses. Whether through full identity development or one-off marketing pieces, the variety of products and services we deliver allows for a broader vision of possibility when rethinking your brand. It’s not all about the business however. It’s also about giving back to the community while inspiring the youth to pursue art & design. I am a Santa Cruz City Schools CTE Advisory board member as well as the graphic design instructor at Harbor High.
