Building a Brand Studio for Fairbanks
Known as the remote Gateway to the North, Fairbanks has unique challenges when it comes to forward-thinking design. Being a community-driven town, locals prefer to support a plethora of flourishing small businesses vs. larger chains and corporations. I noticed much of the design was outdated, making these important local spots also feel behind and overlooked.
Fortunately, I've had the privilege to work with two of the most creative and talented Alaskans I've ever met. Together we started Fairbanks Brand Studio, a multidisciplinary agency that focuses on modernizing brands and strengthening the community, introducing cutting edge design to a place that needed it.
The result of this teamwork was an adaptable brand studio full of life and a team equipped with the resources and confidence to get to know the amazing people of Fairbanks and push their brands forward.

Time to kiss 2020 goodbye.
The winter solstice is a big deal for us Alaskans. It marks the end of darker days and a closer countdown to the treasured Midnight Sun. After the turbulent year of 2020, the Downtown Association of Fairbanks asked us to create a new logo for this event that would eventually begin the rebrand of their own logo. They wanted the new look and feel to symbolize the light at the end of the tunnel.
All work is owned by Fairbanks Brand Studio and clients.
