from soup to nuts at Table7

I’ve been wanting to post about Table7 Events, Inc. for quite some time now. Stephanie L. Hassan came to me in October 2011 in need of a complete brand – from logo to web – for her Fullerton, CA event planning company. Little did I know that this was about to become one of my all-time favorite branding projects – from start to finish.

Stephanie is so much more than an event planner. She is a wedding coordinator, corporate event planner, and event stylist. She is a crafty lady who embraces DIY projects and turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. She is trendy, honest, creative and inventive – all qualities that any bride or client (or graphic designer for that matter) would love. 

After we created a logo, watermark, color palette, background patterns, business card, postcards, splash page and website, Stephanie took her brand to the next level with a custom blog on blogger. I already love her stylish posts and DIY instructions! 

Thank you Stephanie for trusting me with your vision and developing your brand.

A toast to Table7 for years of success!

And if you are in the market for a new identity or brand make-over, give me a shout and I will be more than happy to give you a quote. I absolutely love branding...

go on...be a (social) tease

If you haven’t heard of the Social Tease line of shirts yet, you need to be checking out this site. Orange County local, Nancy Chapman, is the creator and sole proprietor of Social Tease. Social Tease’s mission is “giving back one tee at a time by donating 25% of the proceeds from the profits of each tee to animal rescue and conservation groups” and they do this through great design and faboulous shirts. Nancy asked if I would design a couple of shirts (Cougar and Puppy Love) for her t-shirt line as well as designing her Big Cartel website, I “pounced” at the opportunity.

From the site: Social Tease is a lifestyle brand designed to make a positive difference. Founded by Nancy Chapman, a lifelong animal lover with sartorial flair to spare, Social Tease is the inspired result of her twin passions for environment and fashion.

Nancy’s volunteer work at a local animal shelter motivated her first line of Tee’s, “Save A Life, Adopt A Pet.” Working with like-minded designers who embraced her vision of making a difference, Social Tease came to be with six designs which include the most popular – “Prejudice is the Pits.” Notable for their stylish designs and positive, pro-active messages, Social Tease has been embraced by a growing audience of socially conscious clients of all ages.

Thank you Nancy for letting me work with you and your inspiring brand! And although my recent birthday may suggest otherwise, I have never really considered myself a Cougar…but for you…I’ll be a Cougar who makes a difference.

You can find Social Tease at www.socialtease.org and 

on Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/socialteas. 

It’s retail therapy that makes you feel good for giving back.
