Strategic elegance meets celestial symbolism ✨

I had the pleasure of creating the brand identity for Astraeus HQ, a Charlotte-based fractional COO consultancy led by Dianna Bock. Inspired by the Greek Titan of dusk and stars, the brand reflects clarity, confidence, and the power to navigate complexity.

The logo features:
• A star surrounding an eye – a nod to Astraeus
• Intersecting circles forming an eye – symbolizing vision through uncertainty
• Two orbs – representing a central command center
• A refined type system – balancing modern sophistication with femininity

This identity was designed to feel bold yet graceful—mirroring the mission of Astraeus HQ: turning operational complexity into a competitive edge.

Meet my other baby, . The idea of Reverie Paper Co. started as a daydream to make beautiful, streamlined wedding paper for the modern-day couple. When I was getting married, I wanted to design everything to be perfectly cohesive from save-the-date to invites to day-of signage I realized later on it’s not easy to get that type of cohesiveness and personalization for your wedding paper, if you’re not a graphic designer. I wanted to offer my services to engaged couples in a way I knew big box sites could not deliver. Four years after launching Kara Anne & Co. to serve the design needs of both couples and small businesses, I decided to launch Reverie Paper Co. to be its own entity for wedding paper.

It's Christmas in July! Shoutout to the only Christmas tree scented candle I've ever loved. One big perk of working with was getting to smell all the lovely scents! After re-working her label design system, we collaborated with the talented to get some fantastic images for the new and improved website.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

is a company based in Charlotte, NC with the goal of helping customers make smarter IT decisions while cutting down on costs. I designed their logo to symbolize the company as the missing link connecting businesses with unexpected IT solutions. The design also references a power button! In addition to their logo, I also worked with them to build their website and business cards. For more, check out my branding portfolio.​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

I love seeing a client loving and using their brand. 😍 I worked with Nilsa of what seems like forever ago re-vamping Emerald Events brand. She had some new branding photos taken (also very important!) and I was so delighted to see the mark featured throughout on mugs and candles.​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

I recently introduced you to the new brand for - a business that pairs companies with social media influencers to ask a targeted audience a question to then collect informative qualitative data. Here is how the brand lives online! As you can see, it compliments the mark with its use of typefaces, colors and some fun gifs. Check it out at www.the-socialq.com​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.
