After years of one-on-one design work with clients, we've come to realize this: sometimes you don't really know what you need until you see it. And that's exactly what fueled us to launch Passion Projects, our unique, aesthetic-inspired offering designed for the non-designer.

Unlike any other brand design experience, Passion Projects allow you to preview an aesthetic before committing to a design, while also giving our team the opportunity to delve deeply into all aspects of the design process. From planning your brand photoshoot to designing your custom website, we meticulously guide every detail with comprehensive creative direction and care.

A "We Trust You Process" That Delivers.

FAQs

How is a Passion Project different from your typical process?

When you book a Passion Project, you are signing off to trust us with creating an immersive brand experience based on your chosen aesthetic. This trust allows us to create a brand with all of the details and nuances needed to curate a look and feel in alignment with this vision. 

How many people can book each Passion Project?

We limit each aesthetic to just one client! Our goal is to truly bring this brand to life in every way possible, and we know that is best done when we can pour our everything into one project.

What does creative direction entail?

Creative direction, by our definition, involves support with planning the visual concept and style of a photoshoot to ensure all elements align with the brand's vision and storytelling. We'll research local photographers in your area, and provide recommendations/inspiration for your headshots, working shots, props, location, outfits, and overall vibe.

Do you only design in Showit?

All of our custom site designs are exclusively created in Showit because we believe it is the most effective and adaptable platform for creative business owners. However, we do offer semi-custom design solutions in Shopify for e-commerce businesses.

Do you assist with website copy?

We sure can! Each of our services offers an optional copywriting add-on with our preferred partner, Quotable Copy. Learn more here. You are also welcome to work with another professional or supply your own copy. We’re happy to provide guidance and copy worksheets as needed.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, absolutely! Most of our clients opt for either a 4 or 6 month payment plan structure. Due to the nature of our booking process, we do require an initial deposit to hold your spot.

What makes your approach unique?

While we're designers by trade and highly value aesthetics, our team's unique background is heavily rooted in public relations and marketing strategy. We bring a breadth of experience in corporate marketing campaigns and organic growth tactics for businesses ranging from local restaurants to international retailers - something not many graphic designers can say.
