role sole designer. logo design, colour palette, typography, brand guidelines, business cards, signage, merch, linkedin assets, and presentation templates.

process started with sketches, pulling from the company name itself. trees, wood, evergreen, branches, architecture. the mark needed to feel both natural and structural. settled on a warm palette of golds, creams, and deep olive to communicate luxury without being cold. paired it with a classic serif that felt timeless rather than trendy.

from there the identity was extended across every touchpoint, business cards, outdoor signage, branded merch, linkedin presence, and a full suite of presentation templates, so the brand could show up consistently no matter the context.
