THE OPPORTUNITY

Despite rapid growth, the American whiskey category is still dominated by brands built for older, more traditional drinkers. Old, heritage visual language and biting flavor profiles leave younger, more design-aware consumers largely underserved. Summer West needed to enter a crowded Colorado market with a brand that felt contemporary and premium without relying on tired whiskey tropes.

THE SOLUTION

We partnered with Summer West to create a contemporary whiskey brand that stands out amongst the crowd while still being rooted in category understanding and consumer behavior. By studying shelf presence and competitive norms, we built a visual system that balances classic whiskey cues with a lighter, more approachable aesthetic. When paired with a light, smooth, and easy-drinking profile, the result is a brand that stands out on shelf and on palette. Summer West transports you to good times with good company and celebrates those memories worth returning to.

Every website starts long before the first screen is designed.

For this concept, we began with a moodboard: tea ceremony photography, botanical elements, natural textures, and a calm earthy palette.

Those references shaped the visual direction, typography, colors, and overall atmosphere of the website.

The goal isn't to copy the moodboard, but to transform inspiration into a cohesive digital experience.

Do you think the final design captures the mood of the original references?

I got a brief for a skincare brand The brief? Create a brand that makes women in their 30s and 40s feel seen, valued, and empowered. Here's how I brought Skin Secrets to life: - I dug deep into the hopes and fears of women entering a new chapter of life. - We crafted a mission: Provide top-quality products that help women look AND feel their best. - Shaped a vision: To be known for empowering women to achieve their goals. - Designed a visual identity that exudes confidence, warmth, and timeless beauty. The result? A brand that doesn't just sell skincare. It sells confidence. It sells a second chance at feeling young, vibrant, and unstoppable. The client's reaction? "This isn't just a logo. It's a promise to every woman who's ever felt overlooked." ----------- Your business deserves more than just a pretty logo. It deserves an identity that speaks directly to your customers' deepest desires. That's what I bring to every project.
