our core framework

Vision · Voice · Visuals
We don’t design brands from the outside in.
We design them from the inside out.
Brand Vision
Clarity before creation. Direction before design.
We guide you through a deeply tailored vision process that clarifies:
-
Your vision for your life
-
Your vision for your work and business
-
Your vision for the world
-
How your project supports the future you want to see
This is where purpose becomes strategy.
This is where meaning becomes momentum.
This is where identity becomes direction.
Your brand doesn’t just represent what you do — it reflects what you believe, what you’re building, and what you’re here to change.
Brand Voice
How you speak. Who you’re speaking to.
What you invite people into.
Your brand voice defines:
-
Who your audience is
-
How you communicate with them
-
The emotional experience of your brand
-
What people feel when they encounter your work
-
The story your brand tells
We craft brand voices that are:
-
Clear
-
Human
-
Trustworthy
-
Grounded
-
Inspiring
-
Distinct
Your voice isn’t just messaging — it’s relationship.
It’s how people connect to you, trust you, and follow you.
Brand Visuals
The first language the brain understands.
-
Color
-
Shape
-
Symbol
-
Form
-
Aesthetic
-
Composition
We design brand identities that communicate instantly and intuitively through:
-
Visual identity systems
-
Fonts & typography
-
Color psychology
-
Imagery direction
-
Symbolism
-
Logos
-
Art direction
-
Digital presence
Your visuals are not decoration — they are communication.
They are how your brand captures attention, creates trust, and stands out in a crowded world.
We design brands that don’t blend in — they resonate.
TESTIMONIALS
I would recommend working with OLDS to anyone looking to find the essence of their brand. OLDS helped to lay out the foundation of my company, while also creating a beautiful website and logo that I have received multiple compliments on! Very happy with the overall experience!
Domini Molina, Balanced Beauty Hawaii
Our Living Design Studio (OLDS) is truly exceptional. They go beyond web design by offering a supportive, community-driven coaching experience that helps clarify ideas and guide decision-making. After spending thousands on less effective design teams in the past, working with OLDS was a breath of fresh air. They move at your pace, provide clarity when things feel confusing, and genuinely care about your success. I highly recommend them.

OLDS doesn’t simply work for you — they work with you. Their collaborative approach helped translate my vision into a clear, compelling digital presence that truly reflects who I am. The process was seamless and well-structured, and the team brought clarity to my brand identity, positioning, and overall image.
The final product was delivered to an exceptionally high standard. Performance has been flawless, and their support has continued well beyond launch. OLDS consistently goes the extra mile, and it shows in both their work and their values. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful, strategic, and reliable digital partner.
