When it's time for your own refresh

refresh is now all white
All brands evolve, even those that specialize in creating them.  So recently I became my own client.
And I went through the same process that I go through with my clients. What's working, what's not. What I like, what I don't. Who my audience is. And quiet a few more conversations that take place when you're looking to make a change in the way you present your company.

For me, a big part of my own evolution was pure and simple. Readability issues on my website with a black/colored solid background. I also wanted to focus more on the work that I did for my clients, and not my own brand. I wanted my website to be clean, simple, and elegant.

So what did this mean? For winter and construction design, it meant keeping color limited, as well as streamlining the entire site. All my content is the same, but it's easier to follow, easier on the eyes. I kept to my color palette of orange and gray. And to compliment that, I used the same photography, but in black and white.

Sometimes a change is what's needed to keep moving forward. To grow. And look for more changes to come. Some exciting things are happening for us. This is only the beginning.
