SWEETS AND CLEBRATIONS – BRAND DEVELOPMENT

hgd blog insetHannah came to happygirldesign for a complete re-branding. New company name, logo design, website, the works. Her business “Sweets and Celebrations” which caters to the greater Los Angeles area, focuses on custom desserts and party styling. Here is a little about Hannah:

hannah contact imageI am a California girl, born and raised, with a soft spot for the Eastern seaboard and all things pretty and preppy. After working in the field of high-end interior and furniture design for several years, I set out to pursue my dream of starting a lifestyle brand inspired by my love of domesticity and the aesthetic arts. My true passion is creating sensational lifestyles for my clients. From composing breathtaking desserts and styling elegant parties, to designing flawless homes, I provide my clients with the elements it takes to live beautifully and entertain impeccably.

We started off by creating the perfect logo, Hannah loves bling as much as I do, so the fun began. We thought we had it right, then decided it needed a different feel for her brand, so we scratched it, and started over, and I am so glad we did…

Then we moved on to designing her new website…I absolutely love everything about it…

Announcing the launch of Star Apple Edible Gardens

hgd blog inset

It has been so crazy/busy at happygirldesign that I have fallen way behind on my blogging! I have so many fun projects to share in the next few weeks, but let’s start with the amazing woman at Star Apple Edible Gardens.

Stefani and Leslie came to me in need of a new website to coincide with the launch of their new book The Beautiful Edible Garden

I was so intrigued by their business, creating aesthetically designed organic edible gardens. They provide landscape design, installation and full service maintenance so you can not only grow organic fruits and vegetables, but also make your garden a place of year-round beauty that is appealing and fits your personal style. I love it!

We worked very close together from start to finish to create the site they had been dreaming of. We went into the project with the original logo they had used for the last few years, but decided half way through that we also needed to create a new logo to work with the feel of their clean, modern site.

INSPIRATION BOARD

This is the original inspiration board for my client that will be launching this week. What I love so much about the design process is helping my clients find the look that truly shows who they are and how they want their business to be viewed…sometimes we start in one place and end up someplace completely different. Here is where we started, check back to see where we ended up….
