Brand Identity Design

I Like Pie Bake Shop

Branding and Identity Design

I Like Pie Bake Shop launched it's first store in Claremont, California and they needed branding design, packaging labels, a web-site and marketing materials. We worked directly with the owenr Anika to delivery on those needs. We build a brand design and logo that would put I Like Pie Bake Shop on the minds (and tastebuds) of Claremont, CA eatery shops. The branding set the tone and everything else followed swiftly. Winning an award is never the goal — but, it's topping on the cake pie — especially in the case of delicious deserts.

mipro Consulting

Rebranding and Website Design

MIPRO  had an outdated digital presence. Their branding identity was tired and out of date as well. The redesign of the branding set the stage for the evolution of the new website. As the only consultancy in the United States that has been involved in the majority of PeopleSoft Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) deployments in North America, MIPRO is a recognized thought and delivery leader for PeopleSoft ALM. It was critical to include that fact as a part of the primary messaging through every touch-point. Starting with the website launch.
