The owners of Blacksburg Books came to me for a logo for their new store. As a prospective new downtown Blacksburg business, they had a budget for this project which was just slightly below my standard logo price. Since my project prices are based on an approximate hourly rate, I was more than happy to negotiate. This model is a win for both of us because it means that my clients get what they need now for what they can afford right now, which enables them to grow. Later on down the road, if they want to make updates, they know they can come to me for a fair hourly or project rate again.

This client came to me for an 80’s/retro/vaporwave style logo design for a space-themed sports bar in Christiansburg, Virginia right down the road from my CBD store. Not only is this aesthetic is one of my all-time favorites to work with, but the owner also has creative ideas for fleshing out the brand in the near future through story-lines/characters and high-quality branded merchandise.

Since we completed this project we have also designed a Squarespace website for Lost In Taste.

I recently had the exciting opportunity to create the logo and branding for Big Oh! Box, a sex toy subscription service in Roanoke, Virginia. The brand is all about inclusivity and empowerment, offering gender-neutral, full-size adult toys designed for all couples. Their goal is to encourage exploration while removing the burden of decision-making, ensuring everyone can enjoy a sex-positive experience.

We recently had the opportunity to design the branding and logo for the Southern Rivers Roundtable, an initiative under the Crater Planning District Commission. The goal was to create a professional yet approachable look that represented both the environmental and regional focus of the organization. The Roundtable serves underfunded watersheds outside of the Chesapeake Bay area, promoting projects related to flood resilience, water quality, and outdoor recreation.

Michaela loved the original logo we created for her, but it was time for an update that better fits her unique aesthetic! She was also long overdue for a website to help streamline client intake for new services.

We were going for something with a more retro/vintage feel; Michaela came prepared with plenty of inspiration. I’m proud of the minimal warped typography effect and the carefully chosen rainbow color scheme — hinting at her studio’s emphasis on pride and inclusivity without being too in-your-face. It turned out GREAT on her tote bags!
