Objective: Design and develop a visual identity for ARIA. The new identity needed to reflect the building's rich history, rooted in its 1920s art deco style. The visual system had to be versatile, working seamlessly across both print and digital platforms, while also adaptable for future logos as the business expands.
Description: ARIA is a high-end interior design business offering elegant wallpapers, unique decor, and design services to homeowners and designers alike. We collaborated closely with founder Alissa to realize her vision of ARIA as a one-stop shop, seamlessly connected to all trades within interior design.

Description: James Wagman Architect, founded in 1999, is an award-winning New York City architecture firm with a reputation for high-performance, sustainable and contextually-sensitive designs. When they reached out about refreshing their identity and developing a brand style book, we were thrilled! Architects have a keen eye for detail and balance, which made working with the JWA team exciting.
“We asked Hink to redesign the logo/brand for our two NYC architecture firms and the entire experience was a pleasure. The work included designing a new logo, selecting fonts and color palettes, social media icons, and developing our company’s brand book. Niki was very responsive to our requests and comments, and offered great ideas and solutions. Hink is now the first in our minds when we need graphic design proposals and highly recommend her!”

Objective: Create a fresh and inspired visual identity for Hudson Studio Architects (hsA), reflecting their expertise in designing refined yet joyful spaces for private independent schools. The identity should evoke a sense of creativity, elegance, and educational excellence, positioning them as the go-to architectural firm for learning environments. Build out strategic brand guidelines, including color palettes and typography, to ensure consistent application across both print and digital platforms, enhancing brand recognition and appeal to institutional clients.
Description: This project kicked off with a focus on the logo, and the adjectives that came up when discussing the project goals were “elegant, dynamic, clean, sophisticated, recognizable, smart, future-thinking”. We explored a wide variety of initial design concepts (see below), and quickly narrowed it down to the simple mark you see here. The bold mark is visible from far distances, yet doesn’t overpower the photography capturing hsA’s beautiful work.
