Wedding Signage: Rachel & Matt
While I love a traditional moment (my own wedding was black, white, and gold, plus a deep emerald green), I adore couples who adore color! Planning this couple’s wedding sign suite was such a joy to bring to life! This bride really understood her wedding’s brand - and we incorporated colors, shapes, and icons throughout the set!
Wedding Signage: Riley & Tyler
This couple had a vision and were ready to go! The unofficial theme was going big, and that’s what we did! We built a custom sliding box to house the 7-foot seating chart and welcome sign combination. We tried to touch every detail, including bar signs, dessert table signs, memory table, a card box, table numbers, restroom signs, and more! This wedding also featured our first-ever sweetheart table backdrop!
Wedding Signage: Regina & Ryan
This couple wanted a warm, terracotta-inspired sign set to compliment their September golden hour, Pittsburgh Botanic Garden wedding. We played with a mix of script and seriffed lettering that enhanced the classic meets contemporary feel. The copper piping, the metallic vinyl on the welcome sign and seating chart, leather straps, and wooden block detailing helped pull everything together!
Human Services Administration Organization Mural
Refresh is the word of this project. It was the word the team kept coming back to during our initial meeting. This wall is the first thing you see when you walk into the space - we wanted to find a balance that was inviting and alluded to the business, but more so acted as a change in scenery for the employees who work there.
My Branding Process
I’m always reflecting about something. As of late, I’ve been mulling over my branding services, concerned I wasn’t articulating my process/deliverables effectively. With a year plus some change experience now officially as a freelance brand developer, I also wanted to make sure I was encompassing everything a small business would need. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been drafting and editing true branding packages – and I’m excited to share they’re finally live. There are different options to fit the needs of different business owners – like social media templates for example – and graphic design add-ons.
My Mental Health Business Tools
This path of small business ownership has been a journey filled with obstacles and challenges. Most importantly, I’ve curated a collection of mental health tools that help me find a life/work balance and a sustainable way of creating all the things I want to create without burning out every other week.

Is it a Connection? Or an Aesthetic?
As a graphic designer, I have to admit that my favorite projects are branding development ones. There’s just something so magical and special about creating an entirely new entity based upon a vision and a passion. Companies are brands, lifestyles are brands, even people are “brands”. But…what does that even mean?
