We help brands reach their full potential.

We help heart-led, high-end lifestyle, specialty goods, and service brands connect meaningfully with their people, so they can realize their full growth potential. Our approach is equal parts strategic, artful, and emotive—We uncover the why, who, and what that makes your brand shine. Through customer-driven insights and emotionally engaging creative, our work captivates the hearts and minds of even the most skeptical. Because when we clearly articulate who we are and what our purpose is with confidence, our impact is exponential.

We offer a flexible and tailored approach grounded in compassion and collaboration. Each project begins with an initial discovery phase, where we discuss your unique challenges, objectives, and goals to determine our most impactful scope of work. Once aligned, we'll hand-pick the perfect team for your project from our network of top talent. We regularly collaborate with trusted freelancers and specialists, selectively bringing them on board as needed for specific project needs. Each project is unique and design deliverables vary based on each company’s goals. That said, most projects typically begin with defining your brand strategy and visual identity and are complemented with custom packaging or launch support.

What Our Partners Think

Libby was a fantastic designer to work with—immensely creative, incredibly patient, and a wonderful thought partner for us as we thought to redefine Godling as a company. More than just a passive designer, she helped us conceptualize and think through what it meant to emerge a new brand in the market. 

— ALBERT, GODLING

Libby is a wonderful collaborator who brings fresh ideas, lots of energy and passion into what she does and I loved working with her on my brand identity.  She is very thoughtful in her approach, and I felt heard and listened to the entire process. I am so incredibly happy with where we ended up!

— ASHLYE, MADFOOL

She was extremely receptive to all of my feedback and any directions I wanted to go in. Right off the bat we had the general direction. In the end I was not only impressed and far more than satisfied with our final product, but also found new ways to express my visions and then see them come to life. Overall an excellent and extremely productive experience.

— JAMES, 33BYHAND

Libby has a unique design aesthetic that makes you stand out. She gets to know you, your brand, your future goals, and where you see yourself in 5-10 years and builds the brand to be versatile through your growth.
