SMALL BUSINESS PORTFOLIO

FEATURED PROJECTS

I love working with passionate entrepreneurs and business owners to create beautiful visual brand identities, powerful websites, and intentional communication strategies. I’ve had the privilege of working with just about every industry - artists, doctors, winemakers, acupuncturists, travel & tourism, health & wellness, food & beverage, and more…! Let me know if you’d like to see more examples of projects that might not be showcased below.

THE HVR STUDIO SIGNATURE BRANDING & WEBSITE EXPERIENCE

For established small businesses ready to realign their brand and website with their current goals, this is the transformation you’ve been waiting for. Over the past decade, I’ve refined a proven, white-glove process that turns both into strategic, high-impact tools designed not only to reflect where your business has been, but to propel where it’s headed. After our initial planning sessions, you won’t have to lift a finger. Every detail is handled with care so you can stay focused on what you do best. This isn’t just a service; it’s a creative partnership crafted to bring your next chapter to life.

    • Exploration of internal values, goals, and authentic voice

    • External perception review from a client/customer lens

    • Brand positioning, messaging, and tone-of-voice guide

    Option 2 (my favorite): On-Site Creative Direction
    I’ll travel to your location (anywhere in the world) to direct the shoot in person. You’ll get hands-on support and full creative leadership — so you can focus on feeling confident and present, without needing to manage logistics or play the role of director.
