If you thought business cards had to be a certain size or shape you were wrong! Think outside the box and create something a little different. My business cards are round coasters made of plastic so no worries if you spill your drink on them. I'm a former west coaster now residing on the east coast so these cards reflect my personality and ability to think a bit differently.

This was one of my first branding projects and it remains one of my favourite. Krista and I worked on a number of concepts for her facilitation and coaching business and in the end this logo encompassed her values, direction and personality. If your business needs a new logo or just a tidy up of an existing one, get in touch to see how I can help.
