Brand design for local artist Katie Ascyue.

Hey there! I’m absolutely thrilled to share the beautiful journey of creating a brand identity for the wonderfully talented local artist, Katie Ascyue, who brings her visions to life under the artist name Katie Hamilton. This project was a heartfelt exploration of tradition, family roots, and the natural beauty that surrounds us, all of which are central themes in Katie's artwork.

Katie’s art is a loving tribute to the comfort of home and the ephemeral beauty of floral bouquets, especially those from weddings. Her work captures the delicate balance between permanence and transience, a theme we wanted to reflect in her brand identity. Additionally, Katie's venture into custom abstract work with a seasonal twist added a vibrant layer to our design challenge. My goal was to weave all these elements into a cohesive brand identity that felt true to her and her art.

Inspired by Katie’s deep connection to her family roots and the traditional nature of her art, I chose a design path that echoed these values. The logo, a stylized monogram combining the letters 'K' and 'H', was crafted to reflect the elegance and personal touch of Katie’s artwork.

Typography played a crucial role in tying Katie’s brand identity together. I chose a font that resonated with the timeless elegance of her traditional works yet was flexible enough to complement her modern abstract pieces. This duality ensured that Katie’s branding would be as versatile and dynamic as her art.

Launching Katie Hamilton’s brand identity was like opening a window into her soul. The response from the community was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the thoughtful reflection of her roots and the traditional yet contemporary nature of her work.

Working with Katie to develop her brand identity was a reminder of the beauty in blending tradition with innovation. It was a project that allowed me to delve deep into the essence of what makes her art so special and to create a brand identity that truly represents her as an artist and individual.

To Katie, thank you for trusting me with your vision. Here’s to the continued celebration of your art and the journeys it inspires. May your brand identity be a beacon for all those who find solace and joy in your work. Cheers to many more creations and successes!
