I've worked with Marielle consistently for almost 3 years. She did a whole rebrand for my company Curie, designing our packaging, website, merch, and everything in between. We got our products on the shelves at Nordstrom and Bloomingdales shortly after the rebrand. Marielle is professional, responsive, and always delivers what we need on time. I couldn't recommend Marielle and the Tributary Design team enough!

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tributary Design. I found myself in a position where I had to start a small business very suddenly, with only a few weeks of runway. They assured me that they could get everything done on a tight timeline. Not only did they consistently deliver assets on time but also at the highest level. Moreover, for me personally, their thoughtful approach helped distill the essence and mission of what I am trying to build. I felt like it was a vision bootcamp as much as a brand build! Thanks to Tributary for making a stressful and challenging chapter so much easier. Forever grateful to Marielle, Kristen, and Nicole.”

“Choosing Tributary for my rebranding journey was an absolute game-changer for my business. They didn't just design a logo; they crafted a visual identity that perfectly captures the heart and soul of my business. They also took the reins on my new website, creating a digital masterpiece that's been turning heads for both its stunning design and user-friendly functionality. The entire rebranding process, from brainstorming to the final launch, was handled with such precision and care that it felt like a seamless transformation. The results? They blew my expectations out of the water. My new brand identity has not only elevated my business's image but also boosted our market presence significantly. The whole experience with Tributary was nothing short of outstanding and has been incredibly rewarding for my brand.”

I am absolutely thrilled with the work done by Tributary Design! From the very beginning, they exceeded my expectations, perfectly capturing the essence of my new brand, even better than I could have imagined. Their ability to understand my vision and translate it into a stunning website was nothing short of impressive. One of the standout aspects of working with Tributary Design was the speed and efficiency with which they built the site. Despite the tight timeline, they delivered a flawless and fully functional website, with beautiful custom features that made all the difference.

I run a small custom wedding cake business and hired Tributary to do a full branding package, some physical packaging designs, and a full website build. As a visual artist, it was very important to me that the entire package reflect not only what the market I sell to responds towards, but also represented my work and personality authentically. Marielle’s thoughtfulness, guidance, aesthetic vision, and keen eye for details led us to a beautiful finish that I am so proud to share with the world. This was a big investment for a small business, and it was worth every single penny. I am so glad I hired their team and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a creative and professional branding package.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our brand intensive package includes all the brand essentials your business needs: 3 logo variations (primary, secondary, icon mark), typography system, and custom color palette.
-
No problem. In our free consultation, we assess your brand's current state, including your logo. If it's still working well, we can build the brand around it. This approach can be just as involved as starting fresh, since it comes with its own design considerations.
During discovery, we often present two mood board directions: one that works with your existing logo and one that explores what a refreshed version might look like.
-
We’ll have you fill out our brand questionnaire and share examples of brands you love, along with a note on what resonates with you. This helps our design team understand your vision and assess what makes strategic sense for your brand.
The questionnaire covers things like your competitors, the meaning behind your business name, and adjectives that describe your brand. Depending on how much you’ve already thought through, it might be a quick and easy exercise or a chance to dive deeper and clarify your brand foundations before we begin.
-
You’ll be an essential thought partner, especially early on, but we make it easy and efficient. We provide clear daily milestones so you always know what to expect and where we are in the process.
Each day of the intensive, you’ll receive an end-of-day update by 5pm PST with a video walkthrough. We ask that you review and leave feedback by 9am PST the next day, or by that evening if that works better for your timezone and schedule. Most clients spend 30 minutes to an hour each day reviewing and commenting.
Before we begin, we’ll ask for 1 to 2 hours of your time to complete our brand questionnaire. That helps us hit the ground running with clarity.
-
Typically we book 1-2 months out. This can be seasonal and occasionally we are able to book by the following week. Reach out to get an update on our current availability!
-
A brand board is a condensed brand guidelines all on one long form page, that features your brand collateral we complete under a brand intensive. It’s a resource for you, and anyone on your team, to ensure you’re implementing the brand correctly across your collateral.
-
Yes. We lightly explore messaging as part of our process—helping you define your brand’s personality, tone, and how you show up for your audience. For clients with more advanced budgets, we also offer full messaging and copywriting support through a words-first approach to branding. This can be especially impactful when paired with design for a truly holistic brand.
We understand that investing in both visuals and messaging can be tough for early-stage businesses, so we keep things flexible. If you're interested in deeper copy support, just let us know and we'll include it in your custom proposal.
-
We’ve got you covered. In addition to branding, we offer website intensives that pair perfectly with your new visual identity. If you book both together, we offer a bundle discount. Learn more about our website design services: https://www.tributarydesign.com/websitedesign
