LOVED her work!

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope of work included a full-scale brand transformation and complete website build.

We began with a comprehensive rebrand, which included the development of a full logo suite, refined color palette, typography selections, and supporting brand elements to create a cohesive and elevated identity. She did not just design a logo — she built a complete brand system.

In addition to the core brand identity, she redesigned all of our printed collateral, including business cards, brochures, and our pricing guide. Every piece was thoughtfully aligned with the new brand direction so that our in-person materials feel just as polished as our digital presence.

She also created detailed brand guidelines outlining exactly how to use our fonts, colors, and visual elements. This included direction on font hierarchy, background and foreground color usage, and layout standards so that when we create our own materials moving forward, everything stays consistent and on brand.

From there, she developed a wide range of supporting assets, including social media templates, branded graphics, and marketing visuals that integrate seamlessly with the overall identity.

The project also included the design and development of a completely new website. This was a ground-up rebuild. She handled layout, visual design, brand integration, and user experience strategy to create a site that is both visually stunning and strategically structured to convert leads.

Key deliverables included:

Full logo suite (primary, secondary, submarks, brand marks)
Defined color palette and typography system
Comprehensive brand guidelines with usage direction
Redesigned business cards, brochures, and pricing guide
Social media templates and digital marketing graphics
Custom website design and build
Full brand implementation across print and digital platforms

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The rebrand and website launch significantly elevated our positioning and directly impacted our growth trajectory.

Since implementing the new brand, we have experienced:

Higher conversion rates from inquiry to booking
Stronger alignment with ideal clients and increased booking quality
A noticeable shift toward more luxury weddings and higher-end corporate clients
Greater confidence in holding and increasing our pricing
Improved proposal acceptance rates
Consistent positive feedback from both clients and industry peers on our elevated presentation
The refreshed brand and strategic website repositioned us from a “fun dessert vendor” to a polished, premium event experience. This has allowed us to compete at a higher level, attract larger-scale corporate activations, and be taken seriously in more luxury-forward spaces.

Internally, the brand system also created operational clarity. With defined guidelines, cohesive collateral, and aligned digital assets, our marketing is now consistent and streamlined, which supports scalable growth.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Her project management was exceptional.

From the very beginning, she provided a clear outline of the entire process, including timelines for each phase and what to expect at every step. The expectations were clearly communicated, and there was never confusion about where we were in the process.

All deliverables were provided on time, and often with thoughtful guidance on how to prepare for the next stage. As we moved from branding to collateral to website development, she clearly communicated how long each phase would take and what she needed from me to keep things moving smoothly.

She was responsive, organized, and proactive. Whenever I had questions or needed clarification, she answered quickly and thoroughly. I always felt informed, supported, and confident in the direction we were heading.

It truly felt like a structured, strategic process rather than a creative free-for-all.

What was your primary form of communication with Wandering Design House?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most was the combination of talent and experience she brought to the table.

She is not only incredibly gifted creatively, but she also understands business strategy. Her work is absolutely stunning and visually beautiful, but it is also intentional and purposeful. Every design choice felt aligned with our goals and long-term growth.

Beyond her skill, she was an absolute joy to work with. She brought energy, clarity, and confidence to the process. I always felt heard, understood, and guided in the right direction. She has a rare ability to take big ideas and translate them into something cohesive and elevated.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Wandering Design House could have done differently?
