• Hello sweetest friends. While in the past I’ve sneaked away from Instagram for months at a time, this time I thought I’d be more intentional about this break. About a week ago, I decided I really needed some space from my phone. Last week, I kept it away when I was with my family, and I haven’t used it first thing in the morning or right before bed. Progress! With the start of school right around the corner (our oldest starts virtual 1st grade next Tuesday), I want to be as present as possible as our family navigates the transition from summer to a new school year. I’ll be away from this space for at least two weeks; coming back when I feel settled in our new rhythm. In the meantime, here’s what’s happening in my studio and home: I have several exciting launches happening right now (and in the near future). I’ll likely be logging in to share my clients’ posts in my stories, but you won’t see any new posts on my feed until I’m back. I can’t wait to share these projects! I am booking for Autumn 2020 and Winter 2020/21 right now. Have you read through my equity statement and bio on my site? Have you checked out my recent work/launches right here on Instagram? Think we’re a good fit? Great! Send me a message through the contact form on my site and I’ll send you the information you need for choosing a package and booking. I can’t wait to work with you!! Personally, I’m really enjoying spending my time DOING: quilting, tending the garden (we just started our Autumn/winter plan), planning some homeschool magic (magic = plummeting into this new part of life and hoping it all goes ok), hiking around Portland, and embracing the slide into “spooky season”. To follow along with my personal adventures, you’re welcome to follow me over @ravynstadick. Until I’m back, I’m sending all of the vibes for peace, balance, clarity and perspective. ✌🏼

  • Let’s share our joys!!! For me, life lately has been about disconnecting from the things that don’t serve me (I’m looking at you, Doom Scrolling), and reconnecting to the bits in life that brings joy and fulfillment. Over the last month, I’ve watched my garden swell, my kids find more contentment, and my hands as they made a quilt for my oldest. Over the last several days, I’ve kept my phone down during family hours (now I’m just doom scrolling during work hours). 🙃 I’ve woken up without a phone screen in my face, and slowly peeled myself out of bed to greet the quiet mornings. Don’t worry, I’m not too ambitious; I quickly transition to a cozy spot on the couch, and my kids always wake up at 6:59 am. The start of a new (virtual) school year is right around the corner, and the slide into Autumn finds us, I’m trying to live a little slower in order to embrace life right now. My oldest babe has two missing front teeth, with a big ol’ gap that has her S’s sounding *the best*. My youngest is VERY three right now, which brings unexpected joy and chaos to every single day. While my heart is aching for so many, I’m trying to heal it by: staying informed, donating to local organizations, and being ready to vote in 68 days. Until then, I’ll be here, trying to find little joys along the way. Please share one (or more) of your biggest joys from the last week. I want to celebrate with you.

  • The main icon for Willamette Law Group is meant to encompass the beautiful things you find in the Willamette Valley: waterfalls, lakes, mountains, and stunning views. By using topography lines as our inspiration, I created an abstract representation of the place that WLG calls home. Even in a small brand mark, there should always be a story.

  • We needed more stage time for this stunning stationery suite for Willamette Law Group. The paper goods were printed by the folks over at @czarpress, and they’re as dreamy in person as they look here. We opted to print on off-white cotton in order to strike the classic, comfortable feel we were after. The business cards are thickkkk - a full flood of rust colored ink with the beautiful differentiation on every single card. We paired the letterpress goods with gray and forest envelopes, and finished everything with custom stamps and an embosser which presses the return address onto paper. Am I in love with paper? Yes. Yes I am.

  • The icons used throughout the Willamette Law Group website are meant to add a modern touch and visual interest to their online space. When thinking about the user experience, having icons throughout the site adds consistency, cohesiveness and direction - little visual marks to help clients navigate to the practice area they need representation for (personal injury, insurance disputes, environmental law, litigation, or election law). In an industry that isn’t exactly known for personal flare and connection, we wanted to highlight these exact brand values that Willamette Law Group is proud to deliver to their clients. When each section of the site has been built with intention, the result is an online experience that feels inviting, caring and personal. Plus, who doesn’t love cute little icon sets? Swipe to see the primary logo that inspired the rest of the design.

  • The website for Willamette Law Group showcases a heart for the environment, a passion for advocacy, and a desire for their client’s online experience to be straight-forward and comfortable. The juxtaposition of classic and modern is brought to life on the site: between the classic typefaces and the custom modern icons, the site feels balanced and refreshing. Also, not going to lie: so many attorney’s sites are B.O.R.I.N.G. … this one is anything but that! It was a joy (and beyond) to work on this project.

  • Willamette Law Group is an Oregon-based law firm that advocates for people and the places they love. Nestled in the heart of the Willamette Valley, WLG specializes in personal injury & environmental litigation; a personal approach to law with social responsibility & community protection. Experience, expertise and preparedness come together to create an experience clients value above all others. My objective with the design was finding balance. Aesthetically, this was done through custom typefaces which create a bold, memorable visual experience, and organic graphic elements that make the suite feel inviting and personal. This little sub-mark brings me joy.

  • New work: Brand identity suite for Willamette Law Group. Willamette Law group, founded by attorney Jesse Buss, is an Oregon based law firm focused on personal injury and environmental law. Jesse is a fierce advocate for people and the places they love. I’ve known Jesse for years, and the first feeling that pops into my head when I think of him is kind. Other notable traits: intentional, dedicated, professional, and warm. This is one of those projects that didn’t feel like work at all: Jesse brought vision and a collaborative spirit, and together we created one of my favorite suites of all time. I feel so lucky to have worked together to bring the Willamette Law Group experience to life. Premium letterpress business cards and note cards were printed by the team at @czarpress.
