Hillview
Family-owned bowling alley honoring tradition while embracing the future.
For Hillview, everything starts with their league family. I built a bold yet vintage identity with deep reds for tradition, blues for welcome, and a handmade wordmark that hides a bowling pin in the “H.” It’s modern energy without losing the heritage their regulars hold dear.

Outsidey
Outdoor outfitter for folks who love the idea of the outdoors.
Sarcastic, unserious, and full of winks! This brand leans into the cliché “outdoorsy” look with earthy colors but flips it with playful iconography, like a disheveled raccoon stealing a s’more. It’s a perfect match for the not-so-hardcore adventurer.

Mystic Marrow Studio
Fine art with baroque drama and a mischievous streak.
Mystic Marrow merges classical influence with modern subjects. I layered rich textures, a mysterious fox mascot, and tongue-in-cheek icons (like a canvas on fire) to capture the artist’s raw authenticity. The result: a brand as bold and enchanting as her work.

Rutherford Landscaping
Built around the owner’s goofy-but-hardworking personality, Rutherford’s brand features a quirky possum mascot complete with safety goggles. It’s unexpected, memorable, and perfectly captures the charm that won the community’s trust.

A little scrappy, a lot reliable.

Railside Roasters
Coffee with a ticket to adventure.
Inspired by the owner’s childhood train journeys, this brand weaves railway nostalgia into every detail. A coffee bean conductor mascot anchors the suite, with navy and yellow tones tying together the themes of travel, warmth, and storytelling.

Golden Hour
Golf that puts family at the heart of the game.
Instead of sidelining kids, Golden Hour celebrates them. Think Miami Vice colors with playful sophistication, anchored by a flying idol logo that blends freedom, fun, and loyalty. A golf brand that feels just as inviting as a family pool day.

[Yaya is] always quick to respond, open to feedback, and great at explaining things in a way that just clicks. Her design work totally blew me away and brought new life to my brand. I have received more commission requests since the branding update.

I could but that would be like handing you only the cover of a book. A logo without a story, colors, or fonts behind it won’t carry your brand far. My work is about giving you a whole system, not a single piece.

Templates can be fun for quick experiments, but they’re built to be generic. Your business deserves more than “good enough.” I create brands that feel like they already belong in your town, with visuals rooted in your story. That’s something a template just can’t do.

Nope. Trends fade, but your story won’t. My work leans on timeless, people-first design so your brand feels familiar and future-ready, not dated next season.
