I created an original logo and branding package for a home-based nail and aesthetics studio. The whole package included the logo (colour, black/white), submark icon, web favicon, business cards, website graphics, invoice design, email signatures, social media graphics (services/policies/etc.), a studio layout concept, and a few other small custom graphics. I also provided photo enhancements to elevate the services provided by the salon.

This property had a marketing package built by a previous designer and needed a complete overhaul with new photos, graphics, and copy. I was provided updated photos which I enhanced with colour corrections, sky replacements, and other natural enhancements to highlight the site’s attractiveness. I revamped the brochure with new copy and content, researched demographics data, and created custom graphics to highlight the property’s features according to the owner’s specifications.

I designed a co-branded marketing brochure and outdoor signage to draw attention to a new premium high-rise development. The project was a collaboration of requirements for a real estate broker and the developer of the site.
