Clients & Partnerships

  • “Not only did Taryn guide us through the rebrand process, she really “got” what we were trying to achieve and incorporated the sensitivity of our company mission and values into the design. We couldn’t be happier with our outcome of a bolder and more distinctive brand image.”

    Founder and President | Rheia Consulting, LLC

  • We were ready for a brand refresh after three years of serving clients and Taryn took my vision, listened, and created the most beautiful, on-brand logo, color palette and website for Millie. I can't wait to work with Taryn again and will continue referring her to my clients and connections.

Professional Rebrand

Rheia Consulting, LLC

  • After one year in business, Rachel knew it was time for a brand refresh for her business. Her original logo felt lack-luster compared to industry peers and it didn’t reflect her company’s level of professionalism.

    After working with Taryn, Rheia Consulting not only has a logo, but a brand. Her mark better reflects her company’s mission, identity, and status as an expert in transportation. Including a direction for colors, fonts, and direction for imagery tied the whole brand together and created cohesion that further communicates professionalism.

    Rachel is proud to sponsor events, knowing her brand is positioned just as polished as the firms around her.

Website Design

The Wander Collective


  • Jeminah's original website for The Wander Collective lacked organization and polish, making it difficult to showcase her stunning vacation rental homes. The new design transforms her online presence with a clear, user-friendly structure that highlights her properties in all their beauty.

    With large, captivating images and engaging copy, the revamped site not only entices potential guests but also improves search engine optimization, making it easier for visitors to discover her rentals on Google. This cohesive and visually appealing branding is designed to boost bookings and create a memorable online experience for future guests.

Brand Refresh

Millie: A Marketing & Social Agency

  • After three years in business, Millie’s visual branding was ready to level up. Previously light and feminine, the old brand was a block for attracting a wider audience.

    Now, Millie’s brand is professional, modern, and better suited to the direction the agency is heading.

    Jenn, the founder, couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome stating, “I'm more confident and excited than ever for prospects to land on our website and see our logo in my signature. It truly encapsulates the feeling I want Millie to evoke whenever someone interacts with us. It's welcoming and warm yet professional, clean and fresh”.
