Creative Direction

I have experience advising on the creative direction for many small brands and businesses from website creation, brand image, and art direction. I have led all creative and art direction for my own business, Burke Mercantile, and I established branding for my small business community, the East Village Arts District, while building and managing a website for the business district.

I love to help small businesses launch organized websites through Squarespace and Shopify while helping them feel empowered in operating those platforms. I have experience assisting and developing appropriate branding and visual identity for brands as well as directing photo shoots and content creation for website and social page launches.

Past clients include Artisan Footwear, Family Store (now The Hangout), and The Golden Garden in Long Beach. The logo and branding deck for East Village and The Golden Garden was commissioned and designed by graphic designer Gianelli Ann.
