• Custom Websites and UI/UX •

Whether you are designing an app or need a new website design, Chris Olson Designs can create a solution that is just right for you—from the branding and design package to quick fixes. You can hire me to complete a specific project, hire me for a design day, or on an hourly basis.

If you are interested in a custom website, I am a Squarespace designer and a Squarespace Circle member. I am also in the Standout Squarespace design community for developing websites using a streamlined process. The newest Squarespace features including Fluid Engine offer fabulous website design concepts. (You can view my UI/UX Certifications here.)

Together we can create a custom website or app that works hard for you.

Brand Strategy and Identity

A unique and cohesive brand identity can set your brand apart. Strategic brand development can mean the difference between simply running a business, and building an influential brand. In my brand identity offer, I work with you to understand your brand’s unique personality and devise a brand identity that sets you apart and communicates your brand’s superpowers to your target audience.

Branding Services

Chris Olson Designs books out a few months in advance. I am currently booking branding services projects for summer 2023. If you are interested in working with me, you can book a discovery call.

During the brand onboarding process, you complete my online content questionnaire and share your current branding and photos. We can also schedule a call to further discuss the brand. This will help you provide what’s needed before I begin the brand strategy. The brand strategy can include determining the brand personality, your brand’s tone of voice, the value proposition, competitive analysis or audit, and identifying the target market.
Develop a primary logo, secondary logo, icon logo, and submark logos.
Develop a mood board and color palette that reflects the ideas in the brand strategy consulting.
Develop a typography system and font hierarchy based on the brand strategy.
Templates for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and more.
This guide tells the brand story and includes details on the company’s brand identity, including logos (full logos, secondary logos, and icons); color palette (primary and secondary colors); typography (font styles, sizes, font hierarchy, and spacing); brand imagery (brand photos, illustrations, and artwork); brand voice and tone; also include examples of how to display its content on social media.
Chris Olson is a licensed illustrator and surface pattern designer. There are many ways she collaborates on projects including illustrations for packaging, logo and brand asset illustration, stationery art, surface design, licensing artwork, and commissioned illustrations.

AI Packages

Adobe Firefly and its AI image generation tools are transforming creative processes with generative AI technology. The collage above includes images generated using Adobe Firefly. In this example, the uploaded Structure Reference image is a doodle portrait of a woman and it serves as a guide for the composition or structure of the AI-generated art or photo. You can find more information on how Adobe Firefly works in my blog post.

To create this mood board for an apparel project, I used Midjourney AI to generate images that matched the creative brief colors and aesthetics.

It all begins with your ideas. So first of all book a free consult call. (Click the button below.) Then I will send you a brief intake survey to learn more about your project ideas. Next, we can add a call to the schedule and have a chat.
Next, I will send you a proposal that explains my approach and process—plus a summary of the goals and an overview of how we can work together. The project investment will be detailed along with the timeline. If you are on board with the proposal, I will send you the client contract with the payment schedule.
Now the design process begins with access to your very own project dashboard. I use Notion. You will also receive a welcome kit and a video that walks you through the design process. I will share a schedule with milestones for the project and review dates. When the project is complete, the offboarding process begins. I will provide a launch guide and/or branding guide for you.
