branding.
We don’t just create logos, we help our clients establish an integrated brand experience. From thoughtful naming, messaging, and identity design to websites and social media, we are here to help take your brand to the next level.
Brand Audits
A brand refresh invigorates an evolving identity. An outdated brand can hinder success as markets and trends evolve over time. We work side by side with clients to understand the current brand and determine a strategy for future development.
Event & Tradeshow
A prime opportunity to expand into new markets, broaden an audience, and showcase new products, we create custom graphics and booth designs to ensure your product or service stands out. We also manage logistics to ensure a smooth and successful event.
Identity development
The look, voice, and feel of a brand are paramount for building an authentic connection with target audiences. We work through all aspects of the process, including identity development, brand guidelines, and brand positioning.
Print & digital Advertising
Hitting a target audience is critical. We create a roadmap to guide clients towards optimal advertising platforms, ensuring appropriate content placement and maximum exposure.
Print & Digital Design
Creating bold, striking visuals empowers and strengthens a brand or message. We bring graphics to life through a variety of mediums reflective of a client’s unique needs to deliver and manage all brand collateral.
Website Design
A strong online presence is essential for brand recognition and positioning. From single-page sites to complex, e-commerce solutions, we develop responsive websites that utilize various tactics to optimize and increase site ranking and visibility.
historic preservation.
Historic preservation is more than just a set of standards or regulations and codes. It is more than just detailed planning, analysis, research, and innovative technology use. Preservation is the act of reawakening a memory to reveal evidence of our story – the landmarks of our identity.
Adaptive Reuse
Transforming an existing space into something new provides unique character and historical significance to a project. Additionally, reusing original built elements promotes sustainable design for a better, cleaner world.
Documentation & reports
Through research, investigation, and in-depth understanding, we prepare documents and reports for the existing condition and proposed treatment of historic structures. Our efforts contribute to the preservation of historic buildings for generations to come.
Preservation Planning
A highly collaborative process, preservation planning develops a vision, goals, and priorities for the preservation of historic and cultural resources.
Preservation Training
We provide our expertise regarding preservation philosophy and technique to further the practice of historic preservation and cultural resource management.
Rehabilitation & Restoration
We preserve deeply rooted, historic structures that not only preserve a community’s culture and heritage, but also provide a sense of civic unity and pride.
Reconstruction
To add value to historic properties or recreate neglected or damaged elements, we duplicate historic features based on authentic evidence. The process preserves all original components, respectfully incorporating new construction to enhance the historic structure.
interiors.
More than the savvy selection of materials, colors, and fixtures, interior design is the process of reflecting a client’s lifestyle through a physical space.
We dig deep to discover what components will make the space truly ‘yours.’ How does the space need to function, and who will it serve? And how can we incorporate the unique traits of its occupants into the design to implement and reinforce an identity unlike any other.
ART CONSULTING
Carefully selected artwork complements a space’s overall feel and mood. Size, color, arrangement, and style dramatically alter an interior’s aesthetic. The perfect piece not only harmoniously blends with the design, but provides an essential element to finish the space.
Brand EXPERIENCE
A brand provides identity to a space, ensuring users feel a sense of place and connect with their surroundings. We incorporate the style and culture of your brand to seamlessly integrate with every aspect of the design.
BESPOKE FURNITURE
Custom designed and manufactured furniture is a true reflection of a client or project’s unique personality.
MATERIAL SELECTION
We consider color, texture, and scale to create the perfect material palette – often searching our natural surroundings for design inspiration.
ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHICS
To connect people to place, we incorporate unique graphic elements to shape a space’s identity, including signage, wayfinding, and artistic installations.
PROCUREMENT
Interior décor is comprised of an extensive collection of fixtures, finishes, and equipment. We hand-select each detail, from window treatments and floor coverings to appliances and area rugs, ensuring each element provides beauty and function to the space.
