🌿 I am so happy to have worked again with an endearing, repeat client who trusted me with her latest venture. In the past, I have worked on interior design and brand identity projects with her; this time, I was fortunate enough to design a website for Rebecca Stapley and her new business partner, Carolyn Hinton, of Stapley & Hinton Consulting. From brainstorming sessions to the final design, it was about capturing and translating their vision into an authentic and engaging online presence.

Working with repeat clients means building on an established understanding of their style while bringing fresh ideas. This project was about creating a user-friendly, beautiful site supporting their goals from day one.

If you’re launching something new and need branding or an online presence, let’s connect.

🏡✨ Excited to share my latest project— a bespoke, modern logo designed for the exceptional real estate agent Erin Duffy Kruss. Working with Erin was a delightful experience, and in true Rochester, NY fashion, we discovered several shared connections, including the fact that our parents have known each other for years.

I enjoyed creating this illustration, which combines hand-drawn elements with clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. My goal for the design was to convey trust and elegance while representing stability and sophistication. I'm pleased with the unique look we developed for her branding.

A huge congratulations to Erin on her fresh new look! It was a joy to collaborate with her and bring her vision to life. I wish her continued success with her new business and growing family!

All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.
