ilovecreatives Studio
Q What do you do?
“ilovecreatives Studio is your friendly design studio known for experimental, but approachable and fun—ctional design.”
Q How do you stand out in your field?
Clients come to us because they wanted to talk to the actual designer, not the middleman. Or they wanted an agency that was polished but not predictable. Or they’re actually full capable, but need some help getting systems and templates in place so they can go off and do the damn thing. Or they wanted someone that would talk business strategy (not just design) and help them actually grow their business aka make a profit (not just look pretty). At the end of the day, we want to make the thing that’s in your head look better and grow bigger than you thought it could.
Q What are you working on right now?
Lots of things! But some highlights –
We just recently launched our shiny new rebrand in the new year!
We’re also heads down on an exciting project with our friends at DedCool.
Q What’s your style?
Folks come to us because they feel like our designs are fresh and interesting, but not so designy that we alienate or so predictable that people glaze over. They want a brand that welcomes all but isn’t so mainstream that it’s boring or predictable.
Our work with Finding Ferdinand is a great example of the things we like to work on! At its core, it’s a brand that encourages experimentation and the beauty in everyone’s unique creativity. Getting to translate that into a 360 Brand Identity with touch points including Website, Packaging, Photography, Social, Email, etc. gave us room to play and create a brand that has a strong voice and personality.
Q What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
Branding projects!
We want to do more video production!
We’re also super interested in the food & hospitality space.
We also love a good CPG brand that we can have fun with :)
Q Describe your ideal job/client/collaboration.
We love brands that aren’t afraid to be playful and experiment. We find our work thrives when we can be collaborative with our partners – someone that trusts our expertise, but is also down to share their own ideas so we can create an even more powerful design solution. Also, baseline, you gotta be a good person!
Q What is your rate?
You’ll have to reach out to us for this 😛 we know, we know - typical answer. But it’s true! We make custom project proposals because each client is unique, from their budget to their goals and scope. All of those things factor into how we estimate projects.
Q Oh! and… how do you stay creative?
Going outside! Tactile creative outlets like a ceramics workshop we recently did as a studio together! Meeting new people and being inspired by what they’re passionate about!
