About
Tell me your story. I want to know where I can help.
I'm Jarrid. I've been making things look the part since it was just a hobby. Designing for friends, family, and anyone who'd let me. What hooked me wasn't the software or the craft. It was the story. Why a business chose its colors. What a mark was supposed to say. The meaning people poured into something most people never look at twice. Now I build that into visual identity systems for growing businesses and the events they put on. One person, first sketch to production files.

02 / Marks
Logos &
Marks.
Identities, monograms and marks drawn over the years. Every industry.
The Production Advantage
Designed by someone who has run the machines.
All designers will hand you files.
I hand you a system already designed for the media it has to live on. Before you ever have to think about it. I've run each of these machines, so I know what every one of them needs. That gets specced into the work from the first sketch. You don't pay for it later in adjustments or reprints.

and way more..
That knowledge doesn't cost extra. It's just how this works.

04 / Process
The
Hoist.
Five steps. From an idea to something you can hold high.
This is where it starts. Your story, your people, and where you're headed. Then we map every place the brand has to fly before anything gets drawn.
What happens
- Face-to-face kickoff conversation
- Your story, audience and competition
- Audit of what you have now (existing brands)
- A list of every real application: apparel, signage, print, social
You walk away with
A clear brief and a full list of everywhere this brand has to live.
Clarity becomes direction. We decide what sets you apart, how it should look and sound, and lock it in before design starts.
What happens
- Positioning and what sets you apart
- Personality and tone of voice
- Creative direction boards
- Production limits flagged early: colours, thread, print methods
You walk away with
One creative direction, signed off. No guessing in the next step.
The fun, messy part. Sketches become marks, built at their smallest application first and then scaled up. If it works on a hat, it works on a billboard.
What happens
- Concept sketching
- Mark built small first, then scaled
- Icon, wordmark and lockups
- Colour and type system
- Presentation call with the story behind it
You walk away with
A finished identity concept, built to be made.
Tested on the real stuff, not just a screen. I've run the machines, so I know where a design breaks before it costs you a reprint.
What happens
- Mockups on your real applications
- Embroidery, one-colour and small-size checks
- Your feedback folded back into the work
- Revisions and final approval
You walk away with
An approved identity that holds up on everything it touches.
Time to raise it. Every file, colour and rule packaged so you, your printer and your embroiderer can use it without guessing.
What happens
- Full logo suite: primary, secondary, marks
- Colour codes for screen, print and thread
- Production-ready files for every method
- Brand guidelines
- Optional: merch, signage, web and social templates
You walk away with
A working brand system, ready to fly.
