𝗔 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗼, 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗔 𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲. 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗜 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂.✨
Last year, we were finally able to envision what a glow-up could look like. Through a grant, we were able to dream bigger and honestly, to finally admit that our DIY approach to branding just wasn’t cutting it anymore. We needed help creating a visual identity that reflected who we are and where we’re going.
Enter 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗼𝗳 Onlychild Design, whose work I had been fan-girling over for quite some time. I inquired and applied for her 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲𝟮𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁, which offers prorated design services to small businesses ready to take things to the next level.
I was ecstatic to learn I’d been selected as that quarter’s recipient. Our journey started exactly a year ago, and I’ve been waiting to share what she created. It took much longer than expected to implement the rebrand as there were so many moving pieces behind the scenes - such as life and navigating chronic pains all while trying to sustain a small business in this economy.
But now that she’s here…
𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗔 𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗜.
Everyone who has seen her “in the wild” immediately says, “𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗢 𝘆𝗼𝘂.” As much as I’d love to say, “Yes it’s me.”...
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀. 🤎
She is a powerful woman wearing big hoops as a reminder to take up space while knowing she is also worthy of rest and intentional self-care.
The arch around her head symbolizes so much: 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲, 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆, 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲.
A reminder that our space is ours to define. 𝗦𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗶𝘁, 𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆!
Thank you, Lina, for creating something so much more than a logo. You saw our small, but growing brand in a way I couldn’t yet see for myself. You gave us a visual identity that feels like coming home.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful designer who truly listens and cares, I cannot recommend 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 enough.
From our casita to yours,
𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲.
