A spacious approach
to creating something meaningful

Some brands need more room to breathe. While Brand Week and Website Week offer a focused, immersive experience, The Residency is designed for founders who want a deeper, more collaborative design partnership.

Here, we expand the scope of the project and build more deeply—developing your brand and digital presence through a broader set of deliverables over a longer timeline. Whether you're launching something new, evolving your brand, or creating a more robust online experience, The Residency gives us the space to design a complete ecosystem around your business.

Every Residency is uniquely shaped around the needs of your business.

A DEEPER CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP

The Residency allows us to work together across a broader scope of your brand. Instead of focusing on just the basics, we collaborate more closely to design the many pieces that support your business as it grows.

STRATEGY-LED DESIGN

Every decision—from brand identity to website structure—is guided by thoughtful strategy. We design with both beauty and functionality in mind so your brand not only looks elevated but supports your long-term vision.

BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS

No two Residency projects are the same. Together, we define the deliverables, timeline, and creative direction so the experience is fully tailored to your brand and goals.

HOW IT WORKS

A thoughtful process designed around your brand

  • step 01

    Strategy & Discovery

    We begin with a strategy call to understand your business, your vision, and what you hope to create. From there, we define the scope of the project, outline deliverables, and build a custom proposal and timeline together.

  • step 02

     Design & Development

    Once the direction is set, we begin the creative process. This phase may include brand identity design, website design and development, and any additional deliverables we’ve outlined for your project. Throughout the process, we collaborate closely to refine and evolve the work.

  • step 03

     Launch & Next Steps

    Once everything is finalized, we prepare your brand or website for launch. We’ll deliver all files, provide tutorials where needed, and explore opportunities for continued partnership if ongoing design or support is helpful for your next stage of growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For you, anything.

  • Our Brand Week package has already been scaled back to the essentials—the minimum brand assets we know are necessary to make a difference in your business. Anything less won’t be enough to make that difference.

  • For service-based businesses, we design in Squarespace. For e-commerce business, Shopify.

  • While we do our best to work within your budget and source as many beautiful (and free!) assets as possible, some elements come with their own price tag. These can range from a few dollars to a few hundred, depending on what your project needs to shine.

    Common extras include: font licenses, stock photography, copywriting, advanced SEO, premium website themes, hosting and subscriptions, plugins, printing fees, and additional revision rounds.

    That said, you’ll never be caught off guard—we’ll always check in before anything is added. No surprises, just full transparency.

  • Yes, ma’am. We reserve a limited number of retainers for past clients—if that’s you, let’s talk.

  • It depends on what we’re creating together!
    If we’re working on a Brand Week, all you need is a clear vision—or even just a Pinterest board that reflects your vibe. I’ll also ask that you have a good sense of who your target audience is, what your business goals are, and that you’re ready to dive into our onboarding questionnaire.

    If we’re collaborating on a Website Week, I’ll need high-quality imagery (we’re happy to help you source it!), copy for each page (or we can bring in our in-house copywriter to support), and a complete brand guide—including your logo, color palette, and fonts. You’ll also want to have a clear goal in mind for what you want your website to do for your business.

    Please note: We aren’t able to design a website without branding in place—your brand is the foundation for everything we build.
