We loved this project because the exploration of her brand was so dynamic; how do you create a visual business identity for someone who didn’t exactly intend to have one?
Through a series of workshops, we took a deep dive into Dana’s identity as DC Dana, the storyteller. With a brand like hers, it’s really important to keep an eye on the evolution of her voice – where it’s been, where it is now, and where it’s headed.
