Well rested☀️🍒

Emerald is back from our summer break and already hit the ground running with two project kickoffs! We're excited to be back but do miss Lady (the pup below) and Traverse City.

Emerald summer break recap⛱️

Leah joined Charlee up in Traverse City for some quality in-person time. We visited the Cherry Festival, did loads of beading, took a tour of the historic asylum (actually not scary, pretty cool), went to Sleeping Bear Dunes, tie dyed, made oven s'mores and even did some second half of the year planning! It was a delight.

Thank you for your wonderful TC recs!

🔦 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT

Brannan Center is a nonprofit historic arts center in Napa Valley. For more than 100 years, this historic church acted as the de facto community center. Now it's being reimagined as a center to experience multicultural performing arts and community programming.

The Brannan Center vision is to create a space that restores, enlivens, and cultivates the human spirit through community, creativity, and learning.

We began by building a brand that would reflect the building renovations and local culture. We crafted a brand that felt sophisticated, modern and artistic.

We chose photography and crafted illustrations to reflect movement, joy and the arts. These elements will help Brannan Center build their brand for decades to come.

We brought the Brannan Center brand to life through a website, brochures, thank you cards and event banners.
