Answering the call for conversation.

We treasure the time spent building the foundation of deeply personal brands. Hearing firsthand from founders the why and how, and learning about their desire to create from the ground up.

Last summer, longtime client reached out to our team as she began building the vision for a brand where sentiment is given form. Harboring a longtime passion for pressing flowers—and after a fruitful period of learning, experimentation and creation—Danielle was inspired to embark on The Fleur de Lis House, creating off-the-shelf pressings and custom creations, all with the goal of bringing heritage-inspired flower art into present-day homes.

Opal set out to design a visual identity that felt both historic and stylized, refined and delicate. Using the fleur-de-lis flower symbol that adorns the artist’s historic home as inspiration, Opal crafted an engraved styled mark. Typography is a refined, pointed serif paired with delicate script. The color palette is warm and references historical paint hues.⁠

Portraits, the next layer of Foundations.

Earlier this year, Opal launched Foundations—an abbreviated brand creation offering for fledgling female entrepreneurs.

As with our full service brand work, we are finding vibrancy in subtlety by exploring beneath, between and beyond. The Foundations portraits are ideal for female founders seeking to document their presence; included are 2 images captured in a 20-minute session at our office. Applicants will work directly with Opal and photographer Hilary Bovay. Session one to be announced soon.

The fundamentals, the building blocks that matter. After years of working with female founders, we continue to lean into refined visual stories with an emphasis on feeling. In an era of excessive artificial intelligence, we offer the contrary: experiences that are tactile, meaningful and sustainable.⁠
⁠
We created an abbreviated brand package for the essentials. A process rooted in six phases, a collection of visual identity elements to establish a brand—inspiration, logo, color, typography and a style guide to inspire layout.⁠
