Kristie Carter is a client, a friend, and the founder of a skincare brand with real intention behind it. Carrying that intention into the packaging meant finding a printer who shared it, so we took her to our printing partner Premier Press — women owned, wind powered, and genuinely thoughtful about materials — and walked the process with her start to finish. 👏🏼

Most founders tell us printing is the most daunting part. Especially if you’re eco conscious! Sustainable choices live in the details: stock weight, finishes, inks, whether the thing you love can actually be recycled. Those are the questions you don’t know to ask until you’re already committed.

All of this inspired us to write The Founders Guide to Print 🖨️✨

This inspired guide covers what to ask, what to expect, what the specs actually mean, and how to make packaging that matches what you’re building without compromising what you stand for.

Good packaging isn’t one big decision. It’s a foundation, then a hundred small deliberate choices, all culminating in the complete 3D experience. Guide is on the blog, link in bio. 🎉

Some rooms just hold a different energy.

On September 22nd, our signature coworking experience returns to Portland, Oregon at Kinship, and we would love for you to join us. ☕️

The morning opens with a guided meditation, a moment to arrive fully before the work begins. From there, the space becomes yours: dedicated Pomodoro sessions for focused, intentional deep work surrounded by people who are building with the same care you are. Time in-between for guided connection and relationship building. It is productivity and community, held together.

These gatherings have been filling quickly, and we would love for you to join us. Reserve yours at the link in our bio.

PS: Colorado, we’re planning one for you this Fall. Stay tuned!

We partnered with her to develop a custom brand identity for her next chapter, as she raises the bar in real estate. ⚡️A sophisticated yet playful logo suite and color palette set the tone for her signage, print, and other brand collateral.

Hey, Colorado Entrepreneurs!

We're hosting a workshop this month in partnership with the Illume Collective called “Visibility by Design: SEO & AIO for Brands Meant to Be Found” 🔍✨

If you haven’t noticed, search isn't just Google anymore. People are finding brands through AI tools too, and most websites aren't set up for either. In this session I'll walk you through exactly how to make your site discoverable across both Google and AI search, without losing what makes your brand you.

You'll leave with practical steps you can implement that same day to boost your visibility while keeping everything aligned, intentional, and true to your brand. No fluff, no jargon, just the stuff that actually moves the needle.💡

📅 Wed, July 29 · 10am–12pm
📍 Kiln Coworking, Littleton
🎟️ Spots are limited, so grab yours here 👉 https://www.illume-collective.com/seo-aio-workshop

Through consistent organic SEO work, we've successfully ranked #1 for localized SEO in our industry for the last 6 years in Portland, Oregon - and now we're bringing our experience to the mile-high city to serve this community with intention.

See you at the workshop!!

For Brands that are meant to be found!

There's a rhythm to running a creative studio, and April had a distinctly outward energy. 🌸

We hosted our event, Coffee & Coworking, with our community at a beautiful fashion coworking space in Portland, gathered our team for a meal at Shalom Y'all (a longtime favorite), and spent real time deepening the relationships that keep this work feeling like more than work. We immersed ourselves in print and packaging at our partner, Premier Press, and celebrated the sale of our hospitality business, Saturday Cabin.

We also welcomed new clients into the studio. Among them: a 20-year-legacy family restaurant we're honored to be partnering with. We also toasted to the completion of a brand identity built for a PNW-based real estate group.

May feels different. We're turning inward, tending to the foundations we've built, leaning fully into our current client work, and thoughtfully exploring new freelancers to bring into our intimate team.

Both seasons matter. The community and the craft. The expansion and the integration.

There’s nothing quite like a Tahoe summer. Sandy paws, sunny shorelines, and a cold one in hand. ☀️

We had the joy of designing the packaging for , a craft brewery rooted in South Lake Tahoe. The cans feature custom illustrations of dogs running along the dog beach, paired with a playful, sun-soaked color palette that brings the lake to life in your hand.

Every can in the lineup is designed to feel like its own small adventure, while staying unmistakably part of the South Lake family.
