Why I Can No Longer Be My Business

Why I Can No Longer Be My Business

A few months ago I hinted at some BIG changes happening in and with The Classy Hippie and I’m excited to be sharing them with you today.

I can’t be my business anymore. 

Wait. Am I shutting down The Classy Hippie?!? 

No. I’m doing one better. Over the next few months, from now until late summer // early fall, I will be taking The Classy Hippie through a brand audit and re-branding process. On September 1st, I’ll relaunch The Classy Hippie as a personal lifestyle blog.

I'm excited to share the completed Brand & Website Design for Every Street CLT with you! If you've been following along for the last three weeks, I've been using this opportunity to do a LIVE behind-the-scenes look at my client // design process. The last four posts have been heavily focused on the client side of the process, but this one will take a closer look at my design process.

Week 03 is here! It's hard to believe, at least for me, how quickly this project is coming to a close! This week I'll be working on the website and prepping for the Launch of the design for Every Street CLT [the project I'm designing LIVE in tandem with this blog series] next Monday!

Have you missed any of the previous posts on my 3-Week Client // Design Process? No worries - you can catch up below! And read on to find out everything that goes into the Website and Launch!

My 3-Week Client Process // Week 01

Hello, and Welcome to an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at my client // design process. Last week we talked about what happens before a project gets underway in order to make a 3-week timeline possible - if you missed it you can check it out below.

My 3-Week Client Process // Getting Started

Week 01 of 03 is all about the Discovery + Identity Formation of your brand. While all three weeks are fun, the first week is my favorite! Going over your client homework together, playing with mood boards // color palettes, combing through research - UGH - it's just the best!

Over the next few weeks I'll be taking you behind-the-scenes and offering a step-by-step look into my 3-week client // design process and I can't wait to share it with you!

So, let's get started shall we? First things first, I advertise a 3-week project timeline, BUT - let's get real for a minute - how in the world is that actually possible?

Color Story 03 // Classy

Color Story 03 // Classy

When I think of a 'Classy' period in time, my mind goes wandering off to the Victorian Era, the 1920s, 1940s and the Mid-Century Modern Era. For this color story, I went with a whimsical, feminine direction including some Mid-Century Modern and 1920s influences as well as the epitome of class herself - Audrey Hepburn.
