The author website for Christian Romantic Suspense author, Stacy Angell Curtis, highlights her current book series and forthcoming third title, and was designed to grow with her product offering. As Stacy uses her newsletter as a primary means of communication with readers, we designed a matching newsletter to incentivize subscribers, and included a lead magnet on her site.

The Truffles & Bedlam brand embraces a creepy cute aesthetic with pastel goth colours, and indulges in the obscure, odd, and surprising. A maker of magnetic handmade bookmarks, stickers, and papercraft art inspired by fandom and pop culture, the brand design embraces a willingness to play while maintaining a tongue-in-cheek a sense of humour.

Martin Shannon
Martin Shannon arrived at his website design with an idea for his marketing plan — with a time table for story releases, a plan for an email marketing list, and a diligent work ethic, Martin engaged me to pull together the wrapper: a website that reflected his ties to Florida; a key setting in all of his work. We developed his content architecture collaboratively and iterated through a handful of concepts for his brand before building his WordPress site.
Continue readingThe Witch of Laurel Wood
A brand designed around the concept of rebirth, magic, mystery, and darkness that nevertheless embraces its pagan roots — literally. Belonging to a kitchen witch, iconography for the brand is drawn from the hermetic aphorism, “As above, so below,” and references the elements of earth and air, and a balance between them.

Projects include tote bags, buttons, social media artwork, business cards, and a revival of the brand mascot: Herman the Hippocampus.

Watercolor elements, brush lettering, and delicate typography sit beneath an elegant, natural arch that embrace the couples’ names.

Noisy Ghost Co. is a macabre but affectionate brand. It’s sugar skulls and ice cream, coffins and candy: a red sock accidentally mixed in with the laundry, turning its emblematic death-shroud-sheet… pink. It is the spirit of design that remains curious, inquisitive, and explorative… and occasionally levitates the furniture to get your attention.
Continue readingTooth & Bone
The Tooth & Bone brand is as much an assembly of items as the collection of oddities the blog houses. It recalls the practices of collection and display from the Enlightenment, largely because the content curated by the T&B blog is similarly themed.
Continue readingDynamite Outfitting
We wanted to offer customers the opportunity to shop for components of a featured outfit while browsing products they were already interested in. The simplest solution was to include an in-product toggle with hot spots that could be turned on or off. A tap-through on a hot spot would allow for additional information to be displayed, and allow the user to add additional products to their cart without leaving the product screen.
