What Clients are saying
Here are some reviews from our clients, but don't take their word for it. Get in touch and let's work together.
Finish Line Studios did an incredible job creating the logo and branding for Reformed. He really understood the aesthetic and feeling I wanted for the studio and brought it to life perfectly. The entire process felt collaborative, creative, and professional from start to finish. I’m beyond happy with how everything turned out.
Everyone loves the design work wherever they see it, from our signage to merchandise. The brand guidelines have been invaluable in keeping our theme consistent when working with other vendors on projects and the fonts provided make it into every piece of print copy. He is super available to assist with whatever we need, even after the project was completed. Five out of five!
Joe took the logo concept I had in mind and turned it into a fully realized brand and website that I absolutely love! Beyond creating a brand that feels true to my business, he’s always quick to make website updates as needed. He’s also an excellent communicator who is responsive, efficient, and easy to work with. Great communication is so important, and Joe truly delivers!

This is a logo concept for a new hot sauce. The client wanted an all white logo on a clear bottle. I had the ideas of shaping the brand name into a ‘liquid pepper’ since essentially hot sauce is liquid peppers & spices. I think this design would make great merch and help the sauce stand out on the shelf. What do you think? DM me to start working some bold branding for your business! #hotsauce #logo #handlettered #branddesign
Your brand is more than just your logo. It’s the personality and face of your business. Your brand has 3 seconds to catch the eye of a potential customer. You could lose money by simply not investing in your brand. Bold, memorable brands bring in 20% more profits for small businesses.

Pretty Things is a taproom serving good beer & chill vibes on historic Solano Drive in Albany, CA. I had a lot of fun designing this brand last April and they’ve been open and thriving for almost a year. I realized I never shared this work so here it is. #branddesign #logodesign #beerlogo #brandinginspiration #handlettering
Pro Tip: If your business is in a “boring” industry, get yourself a fun and vibey brand. Here is a snapshot of my most recent branding + website project for a local PDX Bookkeeper who made the wise decision to go bold with her brand. #logodesign #branddesign #graphicdesign #pdxdesign #webdesigner
This is another logo design I made for a 99designs contest. It is an outdoor/overland gear and apparel brand. The clients feedback for my initial entry was to make it more ‘urban’ so I obliged. #logodesign #outdoorlogo #urbanlogo
