Recent Project

Someone’s In The Kitchen

A brand refresh for a long-standing business

Someone’s In The Kitchen is a gourmet kitchen store that had a wonderful yet challenging request: Design a brand identity and supporting logos without changing their original logo. Here’s how we built a strong brand identity around a pre-existing logo.

Client Reviews

  • "We have positioned ourselves as a strong luxury brand and have always remained consistent in voice and tone and presence – largely because of the foundation built with Carly at the launch of our business."
