What if your brand is stuck?
Wendy sat down with Layla and Lillian on the How Marion Works podcast to talk about Design Therapy, a process she developed for organizations that know something isn't working but can't quite name what it is. They get into the three moments that stall most brand stories — the Identity Gap, the Consensus Gap, and the Borrowed Language Problem, and what it looks like to work through them.

Attention! Class is back in session. 📚✨

As school starts to ramp back up, it’s important to give both sides of your brain a chance to shine. While you’re at school, your left brain is hard at work—so make time to exercise your creative side, too!

Try baking a cake, listening to music outside, snapping photos with friends, or creating a collage from old magazines.

Let’s make this a creative year!

Grant County is simply delicious, simply enjoyable, simply beautiful, and simply full of things to discover. It’s Simply Grant. ✨

AI can write your caption. It cannot tell your story.
Wendy joined Layla and Lillian on the How Marion Works podcast to talk about what artificial intelligence is actually doing to the way businesses and nonprofits communicate and why the pressure to sound polished and prolific has made it harder, not easier, to say something true. When everyone has access to the same tools, the differentiator isn't the output. It's the story underneath it.

Westminster Early Learning Academy has been caring for kids in Grant County since 1970, and their whole philosophy is that play IS the work. With six locations across northeast Indiana, children 0-12, and a team that shows up for families in a really genuine way.

We built them a full brand suite: a hand-drawn logo with multiple lockups and colorways, three sub-brands for Play, Wellbeing, and Faith with their own icons and badges, a pattern, a color palette, type system, and a set of applications from business cards to signage to apparel.

The mark itself came from a close series of working sessions with the client and their specific vision, three trees that form a W, and each one drawn as a different building block shape.

Additional design support for internal documents, collateral pieces, and a fresh website followed afterwards, all with “Play is Our Work” as the leading mantra.

Helping a place like this show up as warmly on the outside as it feels on the inside is our favorite kind of project.
